Key Grammar Structures
-
Subiste una foto pa' que te vea
➔ Subjunctive mood (present subjunctive after 'para que')
➔ The phrase "para que" (in order that, so that) requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. "Vea" is the subjunctive form of "ver" (to see).
-
Y al chile, mami, tú sí estás bien buena
➔ Use of "sí" for emphasis
➔ The word "sí" before "estás" is used for emphasis, meaning "you really are" or "you definitely are".
-
¿Qué hay que hacer hoy?
➔ Impersonal "hay que + infinitive"
➔ "Hay que hacer" means "one must do" or "it is necessary to do". It expresses obligation or necessity in a general sense.
-
Te forro de la marca que tú quieras
➔ Subjunctive mood (present subjunctive after 'que')
➔ When "que" introduces a relative clause that describes something uncertain or indefinite, the subjunctive is often used. Here, "quieras" is the subjunctive form of "querer" (to want).
-
Huelo a problemas, Creed y mota cara
➔ Using "a" with the verb "oler"
➔ The preposition "a" is used with the verb "oler" to indicate what something smells *of*. "Huelo a problemas" means "I smell of problems."
-
Ya te quiero ver, bichi, en el motel, bebé Lucifer
➔ Use of the verb "querer" + infinitive to express wanting to do something.
➔ "Quiero ver" means "I want to see". The infinitive "ver" follows the verb "querer" to express the desire to perform the action.
-
Voy a robarte, y sí, es una amenaza
➔ Future tense using "ir a + infinitive"
➔ "Voy a robarte" is the near future tense. It's formed by conjugating "ir" (to go) + "a" + infinitive. Here, it means "I am going to steal you" or "I will steal you."
