Key Grammar Structures
-
Du trocknest mein Herz
➔ Accusative Case with Personal Pronouns and Possessive Adjectives
➔ "mein" is a possessive adjective (possessive determiner) in the nominative case because "Herz" is neuter in the nominative case. The verb "trocknest" takes "Herz" as its direct object, hence "mein Herz" is in the accusative case (although not visibly different in this instance because it's neuter nominative/accusative).
-
Was sollen wir reden, Wenn wir eigentlich gar nichts sagen
➔ Modal Verb "sollen" (Obligation/Suggestion) + Conditional Clause with "wenn"
➔ "sollen" indicates a suggestion or a question of what should be done. "wenn" introduces a conditional clause, meaning 'if'.
-
Siehst du nicht, Dass wir beide übertreiben
➔ Subordinate Clause introduced by "dass"
➔ "dass" introduces a subordinate clause that acts as the object of the main clause (here, the object of "Siehst du nicht"). The verb "übertreiben" is at the end of the clause because it's a subordinate clause.
-
Ich schmeiß dich raus, Hab deine Platten verkauft
➔ Perfect Tense (Habe + Past Participle)
➔ "Hab deine Platten verkauft" is in the perfect tense, indicating a completed action in the past that has relevance to the present.
-
Alles fliegt dir einfach zu
➔ Dative Case with Reflexive Pronoun + Inversion with the Verb
➔ "dir" is a dative pronoun, showing that something happens *to* you. Here, it expresses that good fortune comes easily *to* you. The inversion is used for emphasis
-
Du wirst mich nie mehr einsperrn, mich nie mehr Manipulieren
➔ Future Tense with "werden" + Negative Adverbs (nie mehr)
➔ "wirst" (from "werden") indicates the future tense. "nie mehr" means 'never again'.
