Cultural Tip
The word "playlist" (pronounced /ˈpla.jist/) is borrowed from English and is widely used by French speakers of all ages, especially younger people. While "t'as" is perfectly natural in conversation, avoid it in formal emails or academic writing. Also remember that "playlist" is feminine in French, so adjectives must agree (prête, pas prêt).
