Key Grammar Structures
-
Olha só você / Depois de me perder
➔ Infinitive after Preposition ('depois de')
➔ The phrase "depois de" requires the infinitive form of the verb. Here, "perder" (to lose) is in the infinitive.
-
Você não quis me ouvir / Você não quis saber
➔ Compound Past Tense (Pretérito Perfeito Composto): querer + infinitive.
➔ "Não quis ouvir" (didn't want to listen) and "não quis saber" (didn't want to know) use the verb "querer" (to want) in the past tense followed by an infinitive. This expresses the lack of will to do something in the past.
-
Hoje é você quem está sofrendo, amor
➔ Emphatic "quem" (who/that) construction.
➔ The "quem" emphasizes that it is specifically "you" who is suffering. It acts as a relative pronoun referring back to "você".
-
O meu coração já tem um novo amor
➔ Use of "já" (already) to indicate a change of state.
➔ The word "já" indicates that the heart *already* has a new love, implying a contrast with the past when it belonged to the other person.
-
Você pode fazer o que quiser
➔ Subjunctive Mood in relative clauses with indefinite antecedent.
➔ The clause "o que quiser" (what you want) uses the subjunctive mood ("quiser") because the antecedent "o" (what) is indefinite. The speaker is saying you can do *anything* you want.
-
O sonho que sonhei
➔ Relative Pronoun "que" (that/which).
➔ "Que" is a relative pronoun connecting the noun "sonho" (dream) to the clause "sonhei" (I dreamed). It defines which dream is being referred to.
-
É tarde demais
➔ Use of "demais" (too much/too late).
➔ In this context, "demais" means "too late." It's an adverbial intensifier that modifies "tarde" (late).
