Grammar:
-
Amigo, sabes acabo de conocer Una mujer que aún es una niña
➔ Present Perfect Tense ('acabo de conocer')
➔ The use of 'acabo de' + infinitive expresses an action that has just been completed. Here, 'acabo de conocer' means 'I have just met'.
-
Sabes, tiene los 17 aún
➔ Use of 'aún' (still)
➔ 'Aún' means 'still' or 'yet'. It emphasizes that she is still only 17. Note the accent mark distinguishes it from 'aun' (even).
-
Es jovencita y ya es mi novia
➔ Use of 'ya' (already)
➔ 'Ya' means 'already'. It indicates that despite her young age, she is *already* his girlfriend.
-
Soy su primer novio (17 años)
➔ Possessive pronoun 'su'
➔ 'Su' is a possessive pronoun meaning 'her/his/their'. Here it means 'her' first boyfriend. The context makes it clear which it is referring to.
-
Le tomo la mano y siente algo extraño
➔ Indirect Object Pronoun 'Le'
➔ 'Le' is an indirect object pronoun. Here, it means 'to her'. 'Le tomo la mano' means 'I take her hand'. It could also be 'to him' but based on the context, it's her.
-
La abrazo, me abraza y empieza a temblar
➔ Reflexive pronoun 'me' and reciprocal construction
➔ 'La abrazo' means 'I hug her', 'me abraza' means 'she hugs me'. So it's a reciprocal action. 'Me' is also a reflexive pronoun.
-
A temblar de miedo diciéndome que nunca Había sentido sensación así en su vida
➔ Pluperfect subjunctive 'Había sentido'
➔ The use of 'Había sentido' implies that she *had never felt* such a sensation before that moment. The Pluperfect subjunctive adds emphasis to the unreal or hypothetical nature of the past experience.
-
Que si eso es el amor
➔ Indirect question introduced by 'si'
➔ 'Que si eso es el amor' translates to 'If that is love'. 'Si' here introduces an indirect question, expressing doubt or inquiry about the nature of the feeling.
