Key Grammar Structures
-
Ela é um filme de ação com vários finais
➔ Ser + [noun phrase] with 'com' indicating a feature/characteristic
➔ The use of "é" (from 'ser') equates the subject (Ela) to the noun phrase (um filme de ação...). 'Com vários finais' indicates that one of her defining traits is complexity and unpredictable outcomes.
-
Se ela tiver muito afim seja perspicaz
➔ Conditional sentence: "Se" + subjunctive mood (tiver) + imperative mood (seja)
➔ "Se" introduces a condition. "Tiver" is the subjunctive form of "ter" (to have), expressing a hypothetical situation. "Seja" is the imperative form of "ser" (to be), giving a command or suggestion based on the condition.
-
As outras falam, falam, ela chega e faz
➔ Contrast: "As outras falam... ela chega e faz". Use of simple present to describe habitual actions. The use of 'e' connecting two verbs describing a sequence of actions.
➔ This line contrasts the actions of 'the others' (falam - talk) with the actions of 'ela' (she). While others are just talking, she takes action immediately (chega e faz - arrives and does).
-
Ela não cansa, não cansa, não cansa jamais
➔ Repetition for emphasis with "jamais" (never) for further emphasis.
➔ The repetition of "não cansa" (doesn't tire) emphasizes her tireless nature. Adding "jamais" (never) strengthens this statement.
-
Ela é uma letra do Caetano com flow do Racionais
➔ Figurative Language: Using "ser" to equate the subject to a metaphor involving different entities connected by 'com'.
➔ This is a metaphor that combines two different musical styles (Caetano Veloso, known for poetic lyrics, and Racionais MC's, known for impactful rap). 'Com' here means 'with', showing she combines qualities of both.
-
Hoje pode até chover porque ela só quer paz
➔ Modal verb "pode" indicating possibility combined with "até" (even). "Porque" (because) expressing reason.
➔ "Pode" (can/may) indicates a possibility. "Até chover" (even rain) emphasizes the extent of the change or impact her desire for peace has. "Porque" (because) introduces the reason for the potential change.
-
Pagar bebida é fácil, difícil apresentar pros pais
➔ Contrast with adjectives. "É" + adjective. Use of "pro" (for) as a shortened preposition.
➔ This line contrasts two levels of commitment. Paying for a drink is 'easy', while introducing someone to your parents is 'difficult'. "Pros pais" is a shortened version of "para os pais".
