Continue la partie, quitte à perdre ton dernier jeton.

It is the tu-form imperative of continuer: Continue !

So the sentence is speaking directly to one person in an informal way, like Keep going or Continue.

A few related forms:

• Continue ! = informal singular
• Continuons ! = let’s continue
• Continuez ! = plural or formal singular

Also notice that with most -er verbs, the tu imperative drops the final -s, so:

• tu continues → Continue !

La partie usually means the game, the match, or the round/play session, depending on context.

In this sentence, Continue la partie means something like:

• Keep playing the game
• Continue the round
• Stay in the game

French often uses partie where English might say game or play.

Quitte à is a very common expression meaning:

• even if it means
• at the risk of
• even at the cost of

So:

• quitte à perdre ton dernier jeton
  = even if it means losing your last chip/token

This expression introduces a consequence or risk that the speaker is willing to accept.

Examples:

• Il partira, quitte à se fâcher avec tout le monde.
  = He’ll leave, even if it means upsetting everyone.

• Essaie, quitte à échouer.
  = Try, even if you might fail.

Not directly in this sentence.

Even though quitte looks like a form of quitter (to leave), in quitte à it works as part of a fixed expression. Learners usually just need to remember quitte à + infinitive as a set phrase meaning even if it means... or at the risk of...

So here, do not read it as leaves to lose or anything like that.

Because quitte à is followed by an infinitive.

Pattern:

• quitte à + infinitive

So:

• quitte à perdre
• quitte à attendre
• quitte à échouer

That is why perdre stays in the infinitive form.

Ton is the informal singular possessive meaning your for a masculine singular noun.

Since jeton is masculine singular, French uses:

• ton jeton = your chip/token

Compare:

• ton livre = your book
• ta carte = your card
• tes jetons = your chips/tokens

It also matches the imperative Continue, which is informal singular. The whole sentence is addressed to one person informally.

Here dernier means last in the sense of final remaining one.

So ton dernier jeton means:

• your last chip
• your final token
• your last remaining piece/token

It suggests the person has almost nothing left, which makes the risk stronger.

A jeton is a token, counter, or chip, depending on context.

In a gaming context, jeton often means:

• a casino chip
• a game token
• a betting counter

So ton dernier jeton gives the sentence a gambling or game-like feel: keep going, even if you lose your last chip.

Yes. A very literal translation might sound slightly stiff in English.

More natural English versions could be:

• Keep playing, even if it means losing your last chip.
• Stay in the game, even at the risk of losing your last chip.
• Continue the game, even if you lose your last chip.

The best translation depends on context, but the core idea is: continue despite the risk.

The comma separates the main command from the added idea of risk or concession.

• Continue la partie = main instruction
• quitte à perdre ton dernier jeton = added phrase meaning even if it means...

So the comma helps readability and reflects the pause you would naturally make.

Then the sentence would use the vous imperative and the possessive would change too.

For one person formally, or several people:

• Continuez la partie, quitte à perdre votre dernier jeton.

Changes:

• Continue → Continuez
• ton → votre

Everything else stays the same.

Yes, slightly.

• Continue la partie focuses on the game/match itself: continue the game
• Continue à jouer focuses on the action of playing: keep playing

They are close in meaning, but la partie makes the sentence feel a bit more tied to a specific game or round already in progress.
