Key Grammar Structures
-
Es gibt Menschen, die nur vorüberzieh'n
➔ Relative Clause with 'die'
➔ The clause "die nur vorüberzieh'n" (who only pass by) is a relative clause modifying "Menschen" (people). "Die" is the nominative relative pronoun here. This allows a more complex description of the subject of the sentence.
-
Du brauchst Feingefühl, um sie zu versteh'n
➔ Infinitive Clause with 'um...zu'
➔ The structure "um...zu" introduces an infinitive clause expressing purpose. Here, it means "in order to understand them."
-
Die mich zu dem machten, der ich bin
➔ Double Relative Clause; 'zu dem' + 'der'
➔ This is a complex construction with two relative clauses. "Die mich zu dem machten" (who made me to that) refers to a state. "Der ich bin" (who I am) further specifies that state. The whole phrase translates to 'who made me to who I am'.
-
Vielleicht hatten sie nie Böses im Sinn
➔ Subjunctive II (Konjunktiv II) - 'hätten'
➔ The use of "hätten" (had) in the Konjunktiv II indicates a hypothetical situation or possibility. It expresses doubt or uncertainty: "Perhaps they never intended evil."
-
Führt zu Tiefgang, denn man ist nicht nur oben
➔ Causal conjunction 'denn' (because)
➔ 'Denn' introduces a clause that provides the reason or explanation for the previous statement. Here, it explains why hardship leads to depth.
-
Also bleib stark und respektvoll, und es wird kommen, wie es kommen soll
➔ Imperative and Future Tense combined with 'wie es kommen soll'
➔ "Bleib stark und respektvoll" (Stay strong and respectful) is an imperative sentence. "Es wird kommen, wie es kommen soll" (It will come as it should come) uses future tense and the idiom "wie es kommen soll", implying acceptance of fate.
-
Lass sie einfach links liegen
➔ Imperative with separable verb 'liegen lassen'
➔ "Lass sie einfach links liegen" (Just ignore them / Let them lie to the left) is an imperative sentence. The separable verb "liegen lassen" means to ignore or disregard something. The "links" specifies *where* to leave them - to the left, metaphorically.
