-
Und über mir **trinken** lauter laute Leute Bier **bis kurz nach vier**
➔ Prepositional phrase at the beginning + temporal clause with "bis"
➔ The prepositional phrase **"über mir"** is placed before the verb **"trinken"**, and the temporal phrase **"bis kurz nach vier"** indicates the time limit.
-
Ich **bin** abgefuckt
➔ Verb "sein" + colloquial past‑participle adjective
➔ The copular verb **"bin"** links the subject to the colloquial adjective **"abgefuckt"**, expressing a state of being upset.
-
Ummelden **ist** noch mehr Stress, **gut dass** ich das eh **vergess'**
➔ Subordinate clause with "dass" + ellipsis (dropping final -e)
➔ The phrase **"gut dass"** introduces a **"dass"‑clause**; the verb **"vergess'"** drops the final **"-e"**, a common spoken‑language ellipsis.
-
Ich **weiß** nicht, **was** ich als Erstes **machen soll**
➔ Indirect question + modal verb "sollen" + infinitive
➔ The clause **"was ich als Erstes machen soll"** is an **indirect question** introduced by **"weiß nicht"**; **"soll"** is the modal verb governing the infinitive **"machen"**.
-
Ich **muss** tausend Sachen **machen** und ich **nehme** mir viel zu viel **vor**
➔ Modal verb "müssen" + infinitive; reflexive verb with separable prefix "vor‑nehmen"

➔ Perfect tense with auxiliary "haben" + past participle; contrast with negated infinitive

-
Weil ich die neuen Geräusche **noch nicht richtig kenne**
