Pourriez expliquer cette phrase : quand je dis je, je pense à nayadja aghatourane, et quand je dis attendre, c’est sans savoir ce qui peut venir.

This quote is a « figure de style » called litotes. A litotes is when you say a big idea with few words, say a lot in a short sentence, in order to make the readers guess what you mean.

We don’t have all the context, but if we only study this sentence, we can understand that the narrator name is Nayadja Aghatourane. She talks about herself saying that when she says « je », which means « I », she only thinks about her and nothing else, but when she says « attendre, which means « wait », she doesn’t think about anything, she can’t imagine her future. We can suppose that Nayadja has an insecure and unpredictable life and that she feels afraid about what can happen to her. It could also means that she is someone who lives each moment intensively and that she doesn’t care about what comes next. We need the whole text to chose the best option.

→ Translation of this answer in French:

Cette citation est une figure de style appelée litote. Une litote c’est l’art d’exprimer une grande idée avec peu de mots, dire beaucoup dans une phrase courte afin de faire deviner ce que vous voulez dire à la personne qui vous lit.

Nous ne possédons pas tout le contexte, mais en se basant uniquement sur cette phrase, on comprend que le narrateur s’appelle Nayadja Aghatourane. Elle parle d’elle, en disant que lorsqu’elle dit « je », elle ne pense qu’à elle même et à rien d’autre, mais lorsqu’elle dit le mot « attendre », elle ne pense à rien du tout, elle n’imagine pas l’avenir. On peut ainsi supposer que Nayadja a une vie incertaine et imprévisible et qu’elle s’inquiète de ce qui va lui arriver. Cela pourrait aussi vouloir dire qu’elle est une personne qui vit le moment présent sans se soucier du lendemain. Il nous faut le texte en entier pour pouvoir choisir la meilleur option.

Hope it helps!
