Cultural Tip
In French, the informal contraction t'as is typical of everyday speech among peers. The verb s’enfuir (to flee) is more literary; in spoken language the reflexive pronoun often contracts to t' after a vowel, giving t'enfuir. Be mindful of the register—this phrase is playful and should be reserved for casual contexts.
