Key Grammar Structures
-
Con mis tacos de museo me paseo por Milán
➔ Reflexive Verb
➔ The verb "pasearse" (to stroll/walk around) is a reflexive verb, indicated by "_me_" before the conjugated verb "paseo". This means the action is performed by the subject *on* themselves.
-
Visto marcas europeas que no se ni pronunciar
➔ Relative Pronoun "que" and emphasis with "ni"
➔ The pronoun "_que_" introduces a subordinate clause that modifies "marcas europeas". "_Ni_" (nor/not even) emphasizes the negation, meaning "I don't know *how* to pronounce *any* of them."
-
Todos quieren vestirme a medida
➔ Infinitive with attached object pronoun
➔ The pronoun "_me_" (direct object) is attached directly to the infinitive "vestir" (to dress), forming "_vestirme_". This construction is common when an infinitive follows a conjugated verb (e.g., "querer").
-
Lugar que piso es mi pasarella
➔ Relative Clause with Direct Object "que"
➔ "_que piso_" is a relative clause modifying "Lugar". "_Que_" acts as the direct object of the verb "pisar" (to step on), meaning "the place *that I step on*".
-
Si la ven le dicen diablo
➔ Conditional Clause (Type 1) and Direct/Indirect Object Pronouns
➔ The "_Si_"-clause ("_Si la ven_") expresses a real condition in the present, with the result in the present ("_le dicen_"). "_La_" is the direct object pronoun (her) and "_le_" is the indirect object pronoun (to her/him).
-
Nunca habías visto
➔ Pluperfect (Past Perfect)
➔ "_Habías visto_" is formed with the imperfect of "haber" ("_habías_") and the past participle of "ver" ("_visto_"). It describes an action completed before another past action or point in time.
-
Hoy le pedí que me haga un vestido con poca tela
➔ Subjunctive after "pedir que"
➔ The verb "_pedir que_" (to ask that) requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause ("_me haga_"). "_Haga_" is the present subjunctive of "hacer", expressing a request or command.
-
Use lo que use solo a mi me luce
➔ Subjunctive in Concessive Clause ("lo que") and Redundant Indirect Object
➔ "_Use lo que use_" means "whatever she wears" and uses the subjunctive to express a general, indefinite concession. "_A mí me luce_" features a redundant indirect object pronoun "_me_" clarified by the emphatic "_a mí_".
-
No han creado 1 accesorio que a mí no me quede bien
➔ Subjunctive in Negative Relative Clause
➔ The subjunctive "_quede_" is used in the relative clause "_que a mí no me quede bien_" because it describes an antecedent ("1 accesorio") that is non-existent or hypothetical in a negative context, implying uncertainty or non-existence.
