Key Grammar Structures
-
Du liegst in meinem Bett
➔ Verb conjugation in present tense
➔ The verb "liegen" (to lie/be lying down) is conjugated to "liegst" to agree with the subject "du" (you). This simple sentence uses the present tense to describe a current state.
-
Und ich bin völlig hin und weg und weg und hin
➔ Figurative language (idiom)
➔ "Hin und weg sein" is an idiom meaning to be completely smitten or overwhelmed by someone or something. The repetition emphasizes the intensity of the feeling.
-
Meine Finger malen Kreise auf deiner Haut
➔ Accusative case with prepositions
➔ The preposition "auf" (on) takes the accusative case here because it describes motion *onto* the skin. "Kreise" is the accusative plural of "Kreis."
-
Und verliebt bin ich auch
➔ Inverted sentence structure for emphasis
➔ The standard word order would be "Ich bin auch verliebt." By inverting the order to "verliebt bin ich auch", the speaker emphasizes the feeling of being in love.
-
Ich bin ein Vogel und kann fliegen
➔ Modal verb "können" (can/to be able to)
➔ "Können" is a modal verb that modifies the main verb "fliegen" (to fly). It expresses the ability to fly. Modal verbs always go with an infinitive.
-
Und ich will hier für immer liegen
➔ Modal verb "wollen" (to want to)
➔ "Wollen" is a modal verb that modifies the main verb "liegen" (to lie/be lying down). It expresses the desire to lie there forever. Modal verbs always go with an infinitive.
-
Und außer dir und mir ist niemand hier
➔ Preposition "außer" (except for) taking dative case
➔ The preposition "außer" requires the dative case. "Dir" is the dative form of "du" and "mir" is the dative form of "ich".
-
Durch meine Fenster fällt das Licht
➔ Inversion of Subject and Verb for Stylistic Effect
➔ The normal word order would be "Das Licht fällt durch meine Fenster." Here, the inversion places emphasis on the light itself and creates a more poetic feel. "Durch" takes the accusative case.
-
Ich glaube nicht, dass du und ich heut nochmal rausgehen
➔ Subordinate clause introduced by "dass" (that)
➔ The word "dass" introduces a subordinate clause. The verb "rausgehen" is at the end of the subordinate clause, which is standard German grammar. In subordinate clauses, the conjugated verb goes to the end.
