Key Grammar Structures
-
Yo te metí, despué borré data
➔ Direct‑object clitic pronoun + preterite tense + adverb of time
➔ The clitic "te" marks the direct object (you); "metí" and "borré" are in the preterite, showing completed actions; "despué" (colloquial for "después") functions as an adverb of time.
-
Si te vuelvo a ver, no te me escapa'
➔ Conditional clause with "si" + present tense, double object pronouns, negative construction
➔ "Si" introduces a condition; "vuelvo" is present indicative used for future meaning; "te" (direct object) and "me" (indirect object) appear together; "no" precedes the verb to negate the clause.
-
Yo corro con suerte, sé que volveré a verte
➔ Present indicative + verb + subordinate clause with "que" + future tense + infinitive
➔ "corro" is present indicative; "sé que" introduces a subordinate clause; "volveré" is future; "a verte" uses the infinitive "ver" with the preposition "a" to express purpose.
-
Te chingaste un baller, cuéntale' cómo se siente
➔ Reflexive verb in preterite, indirect object pronoun attached to imperative
➔ "chingaste" is the preterite of the reflexive verb "chingarse"; "cuéntale" is an imperative of "contar" with the indirect object pronoun "le" attached.
-
Yo nunca vo'a fallar un outfit check
➔ Colloquial contraction of "voy a" + periphrastic future, negative adverb "nunca"
➔ "vo'a" is a spoken contraction of "voy a" (I am going to); "nunca" negates the whole future intention; "fallar" is an infinitive following the periphrastic future.
-
Si tú quiere' guerra, pues me nombra'
➔ Conditional "si" + present indicative, colloquial verb ending, causal connector "pues"
➔ "Si" introduces a condition; "quieres" (written as "quiere'" in slang) is present indicative; "pues" works like "so" or "then" to link cause and effect.
-
Estamo en Medallo, parecemo de la serie
➔ Colloquial dropping of final consonants, present indicative plural
➔ "Estamo" and "parecemo" drop the final "s" of "estamos" and "parecemos"; both verbs are in the present indicative plural, describing ongoing states.
-
Yo disparo, no voy a gastar saliva
➔ Present simple + periphrastic future negative construction
➔ "disparo" is present simple (I shoot); "no voy a" forms a negative periphrastic future meaning "I am not going to"; "gastar" is the infinitive complement.
