Key Grammar Structures
-
Mi little demon e' un loco
➔ Informal contraction/pronunciation of "es"
➔ In informal Spanish, especially Caribbean dialects, "es" (from "ser," meaning "to be") is often reduced to "e'". It's equivalent to "is" in English. Here, "e'" functions as the verb "is".
-
Mis diablo' no se tiran foto'
➔ Reflexive verb "tirarse fotos", informal plural contractions
➔ "Se tiran fotos" uses the reflexive pronoun "se" because the action (taking photos) is done by the subjects ("mis diablos") to themselves. "Diablo'" and "foto'" are informal contractions of "diablos" and "fotos".
-
Ustede' no son como nosotro'
➔ Verb "Ser" for identity/characteristic, negation "no", comparison "como"
➔ "Son" is the third-person plural of "ser," used here to express identity or characteristic ("are"). "No" negates the verb. "Como" means "like" or "as," used for comparison. "Ustede'" and "nosotro'" are informal contractions of "ustedes" and "nosotros".
-
Los poli en mi bolsillo, Coco
➔ Ellipsis (omission of "están"), informal plural "polis"
➔ This sentence omits the verb "están" (are), which is common in informal spoken Spanish when the meaning is clear from context. "Poli" is a colloquial short form for "policías" (police officers).
-
Dios aborrece al vago, bo, levántate temprano
➔ Imperative command (reflexive verb), "a" personal
➔ "Levántate" is an affirmative imperative command in the tú form of the reflexive verb "levantarse" (to get up). The reflexive pronoun "te" is attached to the end. "Al vago" uses the "a" personal because "vago" refers to a person, even if used generally.
-
Le dimo' 100 millone' a la DEA pa' que los kilo' pasaran
➔ Preterite tense, "pa' que" + subjunctive for purpose
➔ "Dimo'" is an informal contraction of "dimos" (we gave), the preterite form of "dar." "Pa' que" is an informal contraction of "para que" (so that/in order that), which always triggers the subjunctive mood, hence "pasaran" (they would pass).
-
Entrando en el jet pa' USA como si me extraditaran
➔ Gerund, "como si" + imperfect subjunctive for hypothetical comparison
➔ "Entrando" is the gerund form of "entrar" (entering), indicating an ongoing action. "Como si" (as if/as though) always requires the imperfect subjunctive, "extraditaran" (they would extradite me), to express a hypothetical or contrary-to-fact situation.
-
Ahora son palo' los que colecciono
➔ "Los que" (those which/what), relative pronoun, informal contraction
➔ "Los que" acts as a relative pronoun, meaning "those which" or "what" (plural). It refers to "palo'" (informal for guns/sticks/hits) that the subject collects. "Palo'" is an informal contraction of "palos".
-
Si la que ante' me pichaba, ahora normal yo se lo meto
➔ "La que" (the one who/that which), imperfect tense, direct/indirect object pronouns
➔ "La que" refers to a female person, meaning "the one who." "Pichaba" is in the imperfect tense, describing a past continuous or habitual action ("used to turn down"). "Se lo meto" combines the indirect object pronoun "se" (for her/him) and the direct object pronoun "lo" (it), before the verb "meto" (I put/insert), indicating "I put it to her."
-
Lo que te gastaste en to'a tu vida, cabrón, yo lo tengo en marca'
➔ "Lo que" (what/that which), relative pronoun, preterite tense, colloquial contractions
➔ "Lo que" acts as a neutral relative pronoun, meaning "that which" or "what." "Te gastaste" is the preterite tense of "gastarse" (to spend), with the reflexive pronoun "te" emphasizing the subject's involvement. "To'a" is an informal contraction of "toda," and "marca'" of "marcas."
