Key Grammar Structures
-
Ya yo sé que si llama tarde
➔ Subjunctive mood (si + present subjunctive, future indicative)
➔ The 'si' clause introduces a hypothetical situation. The subjunctive mood expresses uncertainty or possibility. "If she calls late..."
-
Quiere que mi bicho en su totito lo guarde
➔ Subjunctive mood after 'querer que'
➔ The verb 'guarde' is in the subjunctive because it follows the expression 'querer que' (to want that). This expresses a desire or influence over someone else's action. "She wants that my... it saves in her..."
-
Dos Percos voy a echarme
➔ Periphrastic future (ir a + infinitive)
➔ This is a common way to express a near future action in Spanish. It's more informal than the simple future. "I am going to take two Percos."
-
Y tú eres como el blunt, siempre quiero darle
➔ Simile construction ('como')
➔ The word 'como' establishes a comparison, stating that 'you are like the blunt'. The verb 'darle' implies giving attention or pleasure. "And you are like the blunt, I always want to give it to you."
-
Lo de nosotros lo tenemo underlow-low
➔ Use of colloquial/slang vocabulary ('underlow-low'), pronoun placement
➔ This line demonstrates a very informal register. 'Underlow-low' is slang. The pronoun 'lo' is placed before the verb, which is common in some dialects. "What we have is kept very low-key."
