Key Grammar Structures
-
Ein kleines Wort kann mich bewegen
➔ Modal verb "kann" + accusative case
➔ "kann" indicates possibility or ability. "mich" is the accusative form of "ich" (I), used as the object of the verb "bewegen".
-
Sprech ich es aus, rette ich Leben
➔ Inversion in main clause (Sprech ich es aus)
➔ Normally, the word order is "Ich spreche es aus". Here, "Sprech" is placed before "ich" for emphasis or poetic effect.
-
Ich weiß dort wo sie mir begegnet, will ich für immer sein
➔ Subordinate clause with "wo" and infinitive clause
➔ "wo sie mir begegnet" is a subordinate clause indicating the place. "für immer sein" is an infinitive clause expressing the desire.
-
Sie geht tiefer als der Ozean
➔ Comparative (tiefer als)
➔ "tiefer als" expresses that something is deeper than something else. Here, the subject's depth is being compared to that of the ocean.
-
Ich lass es schneien in der Wüste
➔ Causative "lassen" with infinitive
➔ "lassen" used with an infinitive indicates causing something to happen. Here, it means "I make it snow in the desert" or "I allow it to snow in the desert".
-
Ich füll ein Meer mit meinen Tränen, Solange Liebe in mir wohnt
➔ Temporal clause with "solange"
➔ "Solange" means "as long as". The phrase "Solange Liebe in mir wohnt" means "as long as love lives in me". The action (filling the sea with tears) continues as long as the condition (love living within) is true.
-
Ich laufe barfuß über Scherben
➔ Preposition "über" with accusative case
➔ "über" can take either the accusative or dative case, depending on whether there's motion towards a place. Here, there's motion ("laufen"), so it takes the accusative.
-
Liebe fragt nicht wo du herkommst Oder wer du bist
➔ Indirect questions (wo du herkommst, wer du bist)
➔ Indirect questions are embedded within a larger sentence and use subordinate clause word order (verb at the end).
