Grammar:

• Deja de *mentirte*

  ➔ Infinitive after a preposition.

  ➔ The phrase "deja de" is followed by an infinitive ("mentirte"). This construction means "stop" or "quit" doing something.

• Sé que *fue pa'* darme celos

  ➔ Shortened form of "para" (pa') and purpose clause introduced by "para".

  ➔ "Pa'" is a colloquial shortening of "para". "Para darme celos" expresses the purpose: to make me jealous. It illustrates informal speech patterns.

• Puede que no te *haga falta na'*

  ➔ Subjunctive mood with "puede que" + indefinite pronoun "na'" (nada).

  ➔ "Puede que" expresses uncertainty and requires the subjunctive mood ("haga"). "Na'" is a colloquial short version of "nada," meaning "nothing." The whole phrase conveys that you might not need anything.

• Muy lindo en Instagram lo que *posteas*

  ➔ Relative pronoun "lo que" referring to an abstract concept.

  ➔ "Lo que posteas" refers to *the things* you post, an abstract concept, rather than a specific noun. "Lo que" translates to "what" in this context.

• Por que el amor no se *compra* con na'

  ➔ Passive voice with "se" (se compra) and shortened "nada" (na').

  ➔ "Se compra" is a passive construction meaning "is bought" or "can be bought." It highlights that love cannot be acquired through material means. "Na'" is another instance of the shortened "nada."

• Miéntele a todos tus *seguidores*

  ➔ Imperative verb form (miéntele) and object pronouns (le).

  ➔ "Miéntele" is the imperative form of "mentir" (to lie) combined with the indirect object pronoun "le" referring to "todos tus seguidores". It means "Lie to all your followers".

• Si después de mí ya no *habrán* más amores

  ➔ Future subjunctive conditional clause using "habrá" in the future perfect.

  ➔ The use of "habrán" (future subjunctive, though it often sounds like the future indicative in speech) creates a hypothetical scenario. It suggests that *if* there are no more loves after me. In formal Spanish, the subjunctive is required here.
