Grammar:
-
Cabe no meu fim o infinito
➔ Word order variation for emphasis (Inversion)
➔ The standard word order would be 'O infinito cabe no meu fim.' By placing 'Cabe' at the beginning, the speaker emphasizes the idea of the infinite fitting within their end.
-
Nem me estás a reconhecer
➔ Use of continuous tenses (estar + a + infinitive) to express an action happening now.
➔ "Estás a reconhecer" means "you are recognizing." This construction emphasizes the ongoing nature of the action.
-
Cedo demais o mundo pôs-te fora
➔ Placement of adverb 'demais' after the adjective 'cedo'.
➔ 'Cedo demais' means 'too early'. The standard position of 'demais' is typically after the verb or noun it modifies, but here it follows 'cedo' adding emphasis.
-
Quem é que podias ser agora
➔ Interrogative pronoun 'Quem é que' for emphasis.
➔ 'Quem podias ser agora' is correct but 'Quem é que podias ser agora' adds more emphasis to the question.
-
Até que um dia temi que o fim me mudasse
➔ Subjunctive mood after "temi que".
➔ The verb "temer" (to fear) when followed by "que" requires the subjunctive mood. "mudasse" is the imperfect subjunctive of "mudar."
-
Com que leveza pode ser um sorriso levado?
➔ Use of "com que" (with what) as an interrogative adverb phrase.
➔ The phrase "com que" introduces the way or manner in which something occurs.
-
Saudades da tua por cá
➔ The use of "saudades" to express a deep emotional state of missing someone or something.
➔ "Saudades" is a Portuguese word with no direct translation in English, it embodies a nostalgic or deeply felt longing.
