Key Grammar Structures
-
Terminou com ela pra pegar geral
➔ Infinitive of purpose
➔ The phrase "pra pegar geral" uses the infinitive "pegar" to express the *purpose* of why he ended things with her. "Pra" is a colloquial shortened form of "para" (for/to), which is followed by the infinitive to indicate intention. More formally, it would be "Terminou com ela *para* pegar geral".
-
É o bam, bam, bam, tá se achando o tal
➔ Reflexive verb with "se"
➔ "Tá se achando o tal" uses the reflexive pronoun "se" with the verb "achar" (to think, to find). In this construction, it means he's thinking *himself* to be something, specifically "o tal" (the one, the best). It indicates a self-perception or arrogance. The phrase is similar to "he thinks he's all that."
-
Ele não tem noção do mulherão que ele perdeu
➔ Indirect question / Embedded clause
➔ The sentence contains an embedded clause introduced by "que". "Ele não tem noção *do mulherão que ele perdeu*" (He has no idea *the great woman that he lost*). The phrase "do mulherão que ele perdeu" acts as the object of "não tem noção". The "que" introduces a relative clause modifying "mulherão".
-
Só vai se tocar quando se lembrar Daquilo que nunca foi seu
➔ Future subjunctive with "quando"
➔ The phrase "quando se lembrar" uses the future subjunctive. The future subjunctive is used in subordinate clauses introduced by conjunctions of time such as "quando" (when), "enquanto" (while), "assim que" (as soon as), etc., when referring to future events. Here, it suggests a hypothetical future event: *when* he remembers. The verb "lembrar" is also used reflexively with "se."
-
Vai ficar chorando sim, Bloqueado até o fim
➔ Future periphrastic with "ir + infinitive"
➔ "Vai ficar chorando" uses the construction "ir + infinitive" (here "ficar chorando") to express a future action. It's similar to saying "is going to" in English. It suggests an immediate or near-future action. "Sim" here emphasizes the certainty of the statement: yes, he *will* be crying.
