Key Grammar Structures
-
CASI QUE NO TENGO QUE PONERME HOY
➔ Indirect Question / Subjunctive Mood
➔ While grammatically imperfect in formal Spanish, the use of "casi que" followed by the subjunctive mood is common in colloquial speech. It expresses the idea that 'it's almost like I don't have anything to wear today,' implying she has very few suitable options. The "que + infinitive" indicates necessity, "tengo que ponerme" (I have to put on/wear).
-
DIMELO OZU
➔ Imperative Mood / Object Pronoun
➔ "Dímelo" is the imperative form of the verb "decir" (to tell) combined with the object pronoun "lo". Because it's informal, the "s" is dropped. The expression translates to "Tell me, Ozu" or "Say it to me, Ozu".
-
MALA MIA MI BRO
➔ Possessive Pronoun / Slang
➔ "Mala mía" literally translates to "My bad". It's an informal way of taking responsibility for something. "Mi bro" is slang for "my brother," used as a term of endearment.
-
VOY PA ALL AHORA MI BRO
➔ Simplified Preposition / Slang
➔ "Voy pa' allá" is a simplified version of "Voy para allá", meaning "I'm going there." It's a common shortening in informal speech. "Mi bro" again, slang for "my brother".
-
PORQUE A MÍ LO QUE ME GUSTA ES EL PARTY PARTY
➔ Emphasis with redundant pronouns (A mí... me gusta)
➔ The construction "A mí lo que me gusta" uses redundant pronouns (a mí... me) to add emphasis. It's not strictly necessary to include "a mí", but it stresses the speaker's personal preference. The addition of repeating 'party' adds more emphasis.
-
BABY YO QUIERO QUE TE OLVIDES Y QUE TE PONGAS PA MI
➔ Subjunctive mood (quiero que te olvides), Informal usage (pa' mi)
➔ "Quiero que te olvides" requires the subjunctive because it expresses a wish or desire. "Pa' mi" is an informal abbreviation of "para mí". "Que te pongas pa' mi" implies to focus on the speaker, to be ready for the speaker
