Key Grammar Structures
-
Diz o ditado: Quem apanha não esquece E quem bate, quem bate
➔ Proverbial Use of 'Quem'
➔ The use of "quem" (who) in a generic, proverbial sense. It expresses a general truth about people in a situation. In this case, it is about remembering pain versus inflicting it.
-
Mas sempre que eu rimo, quebro essa regra
➔ Subjunctive Mood after "Sempre que"
➔ Although the sentence describes something habitual (every time I rhyme), in Portuguese, "sempre que" often requires the subjunctive when referring to future or hypothetical situations or actions. Here, it's a subtle difference, but it suggests a slight degree of contingency even in the habitual action. While indicative would also be gramatically correct, the subjunctive adds a nuanced flavor.
-
Até peço desculpas aos fãs do início Mas talvez essa seja imperdoável
➔ Subjunctive Mood with "Talvez"
➔ The word "talvez" (maybe, perhaps) almost always triggers the subjunctive mood in the verb that follows. It expresses uncertainty or possibility.
-
Quanto por mais que a meta de encontrar o tom que quebra o cálice Eu vim da rua, arte concreta
➔ Subjunctive after "Por mais que"
➔ The phrase "por mais que" (however much, no matter how much) requires the subjunctive to express a concession or a condition that doesn't change the main clause's outcome.
-
Vendo várias promessas da minha terra, igual Moisés, pus fé no mic
➔ Use of "Igual" to indicate comparison
➔ The term "igual" is being used as "like" or "as" to draw a comparison between the subject of the sentece and another thing. The use of the word equal can sometimes be more for poetic and emphasis than strict equality.
-
Eu sei, eu sei, já era pra esse beat ter virado faz tempo Mas repare que a gravidade Que eu trago no verso já te arrepia no sample
➔ Past Perfect Subjunctive (ter virado)
➔ The structure "já era pra... ter virado" implies something that was supposed to happen but didn't. "Ter virado" is the auxiliary verb "ter" in the infinitive followed by the past participle "virado." This construction expresses regret or expectation that something should have already occurred.
-
É que eu busco o momento exato Pra marcar o golaço como fez na copa o Van Persie
➔ Preposition "Pra" + Infinitive for Purpose
➔ The preposition "pra" (short for "para") followed by the infinitive form of a verb (marcar) expresses the purpose or intention of an action. It shows what the subject is trying to achieve.
