✦Grammar Breakdown
T'asaimélafête?
Contraction T'as
« T'as » is the spoken contraction of « tu as ». It is common in informal French and always written with an apostrophe.
Passé composé with avoir
The verb « aimer » forms the passé composé with the auxiliary « avoir »: tu as aimé → t'as aimé. The past participle does not agree with the subject.
Past participle agreement
With « avoir », the past participle only agrees with a preceding direct object. Here the object « la fête » follows the verb, so « aimé » stays invariable.
Article and gender
« la fête » is feminine singular, so the article « la » must match.

« t'es » is the contraction of « tu es », which is used with verbs that take être as auxiliary. « Aimer » uses avoir, so the correct form is « t'as aimé ».
T'as aimé le fête ?
« fête » is feminine, so the article must be « la », not « le ».

Cultural Tip
In France, a "fête" can be anything from a birthday celebration to a neighborhood street party (une fête de quartier). When you ask "T'as aimé la fête ?" you’re showing interest in the host’s effort. Keep the tone light and friendly; avoid this phrasing with older relatives or in professional contexts, where a full form like "Avez‑vous apprécié la soirée ?" would be more appropriate.
