Key Grammar Structures
-
Mientras me sube la pill Y me pongo Devil Jin
➔ Subjunctive mood (present subjunctive with "mientras")
➔ "Mientras" introduces a subordinate clause that expresses simultaneity or condition. Here, it implies 'while' or 'as' the pill takes effect. The subjunctive mood isn't strictly required here in many modern dialects when expressing a simultaneous action, but it maintains a higher register, or expresses anticipation/uncertainty.
-
Lo tuyo no es que esté mal es regular regulín
➔ Present subjunctive after "es que"
➔ When "es que" is used to explain or justify something, it is often followed by the subjunctive, especially when expressing a subjective opinion or doubt.
-
Te quedaste mal de tanto Rivotril
➔ The expression "quedarse + adjective"
➔ "Quedarse" combined with an adjective describes a state of being or becoming. In this case, "quedarse mal" indicates becoming negatively affected or impaired.
-
Podría ser tu padre, llámame Anakin
➔ Conditional tense (podría) and imperative mood (llámame)
➔ "Podría" is the conditional of "poder," expressing a possibility or hypothetical situation. "Llámame" is an imperative, giving a direct command.
-
Úsame y te largas, como un trampolín
➔ Imperative mood (Úsame) and reflexive verb (largarse)
➔ "Úsame" is the imperative form of "usar", meaning 'use me'. "Largarse" is a reflexive verb meaning 'to leave, to get out of here', and the "te" indicates that the action is done by and upon the subject.
-
No sentí tus púas, debo ser faquir
➔ Modal verb "deber" expressing probability
➔ "Deber" followed by an infinitive can express obligation or probability. In this context, "debo ser" expresses the probability that he is a fakir, given the situation.
-
Y el CNI no ve que hago el ruin
➔ Subjunctive after "que" when there is a lack of certainty.
➔ The phrase uses the indicative, not the subjunctive, which would require a verb like "dudar" or "no creer" before it to cause the subjunctive to appear. The indicative indicates a statement of fact.
