Key Grammar Structures
-
Ich hab's gemacht und nicht drüber nachgedacht
➔ Past Perfect vs. Simple Past; Use of 'drüber'
➔ The speaker first did something (hab's gemacht - 'I did it') which is expressed in the past perfect, suggesting a completed action affecting the present. Then they didn't think about it (nicht drüber nachgedacht - 'not thought about it'). "drüber nachdenken" means "to think about something", in this case it refers to the thing that was done
-
"Ja" is' immer einfach, "nein" is' immer schwer
➔ Predicate Adjective with 'sein'
➔ 'Einfach' and 'schwer' are adjectives describing the subjects 'Ja' and 'Nein' respectively, linked by the verb 'sein' (is'). This is a basic sentence structure but important for understanding how to describe things using adjectives in German.
-
Ich hab so oft gesagt: "Ich mache das nie mehr", aber
➔ Adverb of frequency ('so oft'); reported speech with quotation marks
➔ 'So oft' means 'so often'. The sentence also uses direct speech using quotation marks. The word 'aber' (but) indicates a contrast to the previously stated declaration.
-
Ich glaub, aufm Weg nach oben lieg'n überall Drogen
➔ Contraction ('aufm'); Dative case with 'nach'; Inversion of verb and subject
➔ 'aufm' is a contraction of 'auf dem'. 'Nach oben' uses the dative case to indicate direction. The verb ('lieg'n') and subject ('Drogen') are inverted for emphasis or stylistic effect.
-
Is' schon krass, wie das alles verschiebt
➔ Subordinate clause introduced by 'wie'
➔ 'Wie das alles verschiebt' is a subordinate clause acting as the subject or object of the main clause. 'Wie' introduces the clause and indicates 'how' something shifts.
-
Wenn es vor mir liegt und woher man's kriegt, wenn man's so sehr liebt, dass es kein'n Tag ohne mehr gibt
➔ Conditional Clauses; Relative Pronouns; 'dass'-clause
➔ Multiple clauses are linked here. There are two 'wenn'-clauses forming conditional relationships. 'Dass es kein'n Tag ohne mehr gibt' is a 'dass'-clause explaining the result of loving something so much. 'Woher man's kriegt' acts as the object of the verb 'weiß'.
