Cultural Tip
The word "sympa" (short for "sympathique") is a very common, informal way to say "nice" or "fun" in everyday French. Using the contraction "t'as" signals a relaxed, familiar register, so reserve it for people you know well. In more formal situations, replace it with "avez-vous" or "tu as" without the contraction.
