Key Grammar Structures
-
Ya hace un tiempo que me siento bien
➔ Impersonal 'hacer' + time expression + 'que' + present tense
➔ This expresses that the speaker has been feeling good for some time now. 'Hace un tiempo' means 'it's been a while'.
-
Que sé que todo lo que pasa va a ponerme okay
➔ 'Ir a' + infinitive to express future intention/probability.
➔ Uses the construction "ir a + infinitive" ("va a ponerme") to express a future action. Means: "I know that everything that happens is going to make me okay."
-
¿Qué cojones te pasa que sales de casa y saludas a todo el que viene?
➔ Use of 'que' as a relative pronoun and the use of informal language ('cojones').
➔ Here, 'que' introduces a relative clause describing the person. 'Cojones' is a vulgar word expressing surprise or anger.
-
Solo que no me apetece ver como sigo con mala cara
➔ 'Apetecer' + infinitive to express wanting to do something.
➔ 'No me apetece' means 'I don't feel like' or 'I don't want to'.
-
Si dejas que el sordo baile ya empezarás a entender
➔ Subjunctive mood after 'si' clauses that express a hypothetical or unlikely situation.
➔ Although "empezarás" is in future tense, the "si" clause suggests a condition for understanding, but this condition (a deaf person dancing) is highly improbable.
-
Si lo que más duele no se dice: Cállate
➔ Use of 'se' for impersonal statements or passive voice.
➔ 'No se dice' can be interpreted as 'it is not said' (passive) or 'one does not say' (impersonal).
-
Pa' ver feliz al ser habrá que ver el mal en medio
➔ 'Para' + infinitive to express purpose or in order to do something. Use of 'haber que' + infinitive to express obligation or necessity.
➔ 'Para ver feliz al ser' (in order to see the being happy). 'Habrá que ver' expresses that it will be necessary to see something (the evil in the middle).
