Key Grammar Structures

  • Yo quiero el aire que tiene tu alma

    ➔ Relative Pronoun "que"

    ➔ The word "que" acts as a relative pronoun, introducing a defining relative clause ("que tiene tu alma"). This clause provides essential information about "el aire" (the air), specifying which air is desired.

  • Ya sabes, tanto tienes, tanto vales

    ➔ Correlative Structure "tanto...tanto..."

    ➔ This structure "tanto...tanto..." expresses a direct correlation or proportionality between two ideas: "as much as you have, so much you are worth." It's often used in idiomatic or proverbial expressions.

  • Como los sueños que se cumplen son tan raros

    ➔ Impersonal/Passive "se"

    ➔ The "se" in "se cumplen" is an impersonal or passive "se". It indicates that the action ("to fulfill") happens to the dreams, without specifying who fulfills them. It translates to "dreams that are fulfilled" or "dreams that come true."

  • Le he robado el alma al aire

    ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun "le" and Redundant Indirect Object

    "Le" is an indirect object pronoun referring to "al aire" (to the air). In Spanish, it's common to use both the indirect object pronoun (le) and the prepositional phrase (al aire) for clarity or emphasis, especially when the indirect object is an entity or thing. The verb "robar" (to steal) takes an indirect object to indicate from whom something is stolen.

  • Para dártela en este suspiro

    ➔ Compound Object Pronouns with Infinitive

    ➔ This phrase combines the infinitive verb "dar" (to give) with two attached object pronouns: "te" (indirect object pronoun, meaning "to you") and "la" (direct object pronoun, meaning "it," referring to "el alma"). When an infinitive is preceded by "para," the object pronouns are attached directly to the end of the infinitive.

  • Que no se deja ver, no puede ser, ¿cómo va a ser?

    ➔ Reflexive Passive/Pronominal Verb "dejarse + infinitive" and Expressions of Impossibility

    "No se deja ver" uses the pronominal verb "dejarse" followed by an infinitive, meaning "it does not allow itself to be seen" or "it cannot be seen." "No puede ser" expresses impossibility ("it cannot be"). "¿Cómo va a ser?" is a rhetorical question, meaning "How is it going to be?" or "How can it be possible?" using the periphrasis "ir a + infinitive" for future/possibility.

  • Comprarle el alma al aire, si se descuida

    ➔ Conditional Clause with "si + present indicative"

    ➔ The clause "si se descuida" is a real conditional clause. It uses "si" (if) followed by a verb in the present indicative tense ("se descuida"). This structure expresses a condition that is likely or possible to occur in the present or future, leading to a probable outcome. "Descuida" is the verb "descuidar" (to be careless, to neglect).

  • Porque no tiene cura la locura de mis labios

    ➔ Idiomatic Expression "no tener cura"

    "No tener cura" is an idiomatic expression that literally means "to not have a cure," but is used to mean "to be incurable" or "there is no remedy for it." It implies that the "madness" is so profound it cannot be fixed or stopped.

  • Ya nada en esta vida me parece raro

    ➔ Negative Concord and Verbs like "gustar"

    "Ya nada" uses negative concord, meaning "no longer anything" or "nothing anymore." "Me parece raro" uses the verb "parecer" (to seem/appear) in a structure similar to "gustar," where the object of the perception (raro) agrees with the subject (nada), and the person experiencing it is indicated by an indirect object pronoun ("me").
