Key Grammar Structures

• Por las noche' hace plata, aquí no se llora

  ➔ Impersonal/Passive 'se'

  ➔ The construction "no se llora" uses the impersonal or passive "se", indicating an action where the subject is not specified, often translated as "one doesn't cry" or "crying doesn't happen here." The focus is on the action itself, rather than who performs it.

• Gatita Sephora, estoy que te preño ahora

  ➔ 'Estar que' + verb (informal construction for immediate/imminent action or strong desire)

  ➔ "estoy que" is an informal construction expressing that the speaker is on the verge of doing something or intensely feels like doing it. Here, "te preño" means 'I impregnate you'.

• Pa' que te enamore' y te ponga' a squirtear

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'para que' + 'ponerse a' + infinitive (to start doing something)

  ➔ "Pa' que" (short for "para que") introduces a purpose clause, which requires the subjunctive mood for the following verbs ("te enamores", "te pongas"). "Ponerse a" is a verbal periphrasis indicating the beginning of an action, meaning 'to start doing something'.

• Yo soy muy fresita pa' que tú seas tan bad gyal

  ➔ 'Para que' + subjunctive (expressing incompatibility/inappropriateness)

  ➔ "Pa' que" (para que) here expresses a contrast or incompatibility, implying that the speaker's "fresita" (innocent/proper) nature makes it unsuitable for the other person to be "bad gyal". The subjunctive ("seas") is required in such comparative or restrictive clauses.

• pero a ella nadie la controla

  ➔ Personal 'a' + Negative subject 'nadie' (implying a double negative structure in Spanish)

  ➔ The "personal a" ("a ella") is used before a direct object when it refers to a person or a personified entity. "Nadie" (nobody) functions as the subject, and in Spanish, when a negative pronoun precedes the verb, no explicit 'no' is needed before the verb (it functions as a single negation despite looking like a 'double negative' to English speakers).

• Si mal te va' a portar, yo te vo'a soportar

  ➔ Conditional clause (Si + present indicative + future indicative) + informal 'ir a'

  ➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence, expressing a real or probable condition in the future. "Si" (if) introduces the condition in the present indicative ("te va' a portar" - informal for "te vas a portar"), and the consequence is in the future tense or 'ir a' future ("te vo'a soportar" - informal for "te voy a soportar").

• Ella quiere que sea Sergio el que le hable con la mirá'

  ➔ Subjunctive after 'querer que' + 'el que' (relative pronoun for emphasis/specific person)

  ➔ The verb "querer" (to want) when followed by "que" and a different subject ("Ella" wants "Sergio" to do something) requires the subjunctive mood for the following verbs ("sea", "hable"). "El que" is a construction used to specify or emphasize who performs an action, meaning 'the one who'.

• Ni lo pienses tú, súbete y bájate ya

  ➔ Negative 'tú' command + Affirmative 'tú' commands with attached pronouns

  ➔ "Ni lo pienses" is a strong negative informal command ('don't even think about it'), where "pienses" is in the subjunctive for negative commands. "Súbete" and "bájate" are affirmative informal commands (imperative mood) with the reflexive pronoun "-te" attached to the end of the verb, indicating that the action is performed by or on the subject.

• Se saca las teta' y me hace un aca rusa

  ➔ Reflexive verb 'sacarse' (used when an action is performed on one's own body part) + Indirect object pronoun 'me'

  ➔ "Se saca" is a reflexive verb construction, specifically used when the subject performs an action on their own body part (in this case, "las tetas" - 'her breasts'). "Me" is an indirect object pronoun, indicating that the subsequent action ("hace un aca rusa" - 'does a Russian a-ca') is performed for or to the speaker.

• Subo una historia en un piso 10, fumando sasha

  ➔ Present tense for ongoing/habitual action + Gerund (present participle)

  ➔ "Subo" is in the present indicative, which can refer to a habitual action ('I regularly upload') or an action happening at the moment of speaking. "Fumando" is a gerund (present participle), used to describe a simultaneous action or the manner in which the main action is performed ('while smoking').
