Key Grammar Structures
-
Já viu o preço do leite NAN?
➔ Pretérito Perfeito Composto (Present Perfect)
➔ Use of the "já" (already/ever) with the present perfect tense indicates an action that has happened at an unspecified time in the past. "Já viu" means "Have you seen (already)?"
-
Tá 'mó caro
➔ Slang usage; shortened form of "está muito caro"
➔ "Tá" is a colloquial shortening of "está" (is), and "'mó" is a shortening of "muito" (very). The sentence is slang for "It's very expensive."
-
Pra que tu foi meter um filho / Com aquele otário?
➔ "Pra que" + pronoun + "foi" + infinitive - Implies a question of purpose or reason in a disapproving manner
➔ This construction expresses disapproval or questioning of a past action. "Pra que tu foi" literally translates to "For what you went," but the meaning is closer to "Why did you go and...?".
-
Deixa esse otário, cê sabe / Que eu pago tudo no card
➔ Imperative (Deixa), Informal Pronoun "cê" (você), Relative Pronoun "que"
➔ "Deixa" is the imperative form of "deixar" (to leave/let). "Cê" is a shortened, informal version of "você" (you). "Que" introduces a relative clause.
-
Que eu tô vivendo o meu auge
➔ "Que" introducing a clause, Present Continuous tense ("tô vivendo")
➔ "Que" here introduces a clause explaining why he can pay everything. "Tô vivendo" is a shortened colloquial form of "estou vivendo" (I am living), using the present continuous to emphasize that he is currently experiencing his peak.
-
Ela pede bença, bença / Ela pede bença pro papai
➔ Repetition for emphasis, "pede bença" (asks for blessing)
➔ The repetition of "bença" emphasizes the action and highlights the cultural significance of asking for a blessing from the "papai" (father).
-
Que tá gostosa demais
➔ Superlative using "demais"
➔ "Demais" intensifies the adjective "gostosa" (delicious/attractive), meaning "too much" or "extremely". It forms a superlative to express that she is extremely attractive.
-
Ela engole, engole, como fosse mamadeira
➔ Repetition, Subjunctive Mood ("fosse") in a simile
➔ The repetition of "engole" (swallows) emphasizes the action. The use of "como fosse" (as if it were) followed by the subjunctive "fosse" creates a simile. "Fosse" is the imperfect subjunctive of the verb "ser" (to be).
