There is little to no rhyme or rhythm to their language, so you’d have to know what words can be changed and used in conjunction with other words while still making sense. Now “tu” equates to “worse”, and the word “La” in that song can mean anything from “the”… to “I’ll”… to “like”. And some words used for one thing mean something else entirely in another section of the lyrics.
However, in the I Swear/ Underwear song they sing at the end of the second film, “tu” in one instance equates to “you” and not “your”. They will use these words sometimes, such as when they say “I love you”. Ti means “you” in Italian (when used in conjunction with other words) and tu means “your” in Spanish (also when used in conjunction with other words). For another, certain words mean exactly the same as others, and occasionally Minions will bend or break the rules on what words mean what. For one thing, they will mix words from other languages (Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, English, etc.) in with their own language on a whim, making word usage inconsistent. How does one speak Minion? The answer to this is difficult, as Minion is a near impossible language to learn.
