Key Grammar Structures
-
Aunque ahora no viene a cuento
➔ Subjunctive mood after "aunque"
➔ The subjunctive mood is used after "aunque" (even though) when expressing a hypothetical or uncertain situation. Here, the fact that it "doesn't come up" (doesn't fit the situation) isn't necessarily a certain fact.
-
Aunque parezca que me olvide
➔ Subjunctive after "aunque" (again)
➔ Similar to the previous example, "parezca" (it seems) is in the subjunctive mood because it expresses uncertainty. It's not a confirmed fact that he forgets.
-
Quererte no es bastante
➔ Infinitive as Subject
➔ Here, "Quererte" (to love you) is the subject of the sentence. The infinitive form of the verb "querer" functions as a noun.
-
Y que te siga queriendo
➔ "Seguir + Gerund"
➔ "Seguir" followed by a gerund (queriendo) indicates the continuation of an action. "Y que te siga queriendo" means "and that I keep loving you."
-
Quererte es merecerte Más de lo que te merezco
➔ Comparative Structures: "Más de lo que"
➔ The phrase "Más de lo que" is used to compare two quantities. In this case, loving her is equivalent to deserving her more than he thinks he deserves her. It highlights a feeling of unworthiness.
-
Te tengo, te pierdo (te tengo, te pierdo)
➔ Repetition for emphasis
➔ The repetition of "Te tengo, te pierdo" emphasizes the volatile and unstable nature of the relationship. It shows the back-and-forth dynamic.
-
Y lo que más echo de menos Es que no te quiera más
➔ Relative Clause with "Lo que"
➔ "Lo que más echo de menos" translates to "what I miss the most". "Lo que" functions as a relative pronoun, referring to something abstract. The second part introduces a surprising concept: he misses not loving her more.
-
Es que no te quiera más (Más, mucho más)
➔ Ellipsis (omission) for emphasis and poetic effect
➔ The phrase "Más, mucho más" implies the full thought is "Es que no te quiera más, más, mucho más de lo que te quiero". The ellipsis creates a sense of longing and emphasizes the desire to love even more intensely than he already does.
