Cultural Tip
In France, "texto" is everyday slang for an SMS or any short written message, especially among teenagers and young adults. The contraction T' is typical of spoken French and texting; avoid it in formal writing. Also, French speakers often add a rising tone at the end of the sentence rather than using inversion, which makes the phrase sound natural and friendly.
