Key Grammar Structures
-
Du hast Figur, doch kein Gehirn, dir klebt sexy auf der Stirn
➔ Inversion (word order)
➔ The phrase "dir klebt sexy auf der Stirn" inverts the typical subject-verb order. Instead of "Sexy klebt dir auf der Stirn" (Sexy sticks to your forehead), the order is changed for emphasis or stylistic effect. "Dir" is the dative pronoun, showing to whom or for whom the action is done.
-
Nur eine kann die Schönste sein und das bist du allein
➔ Relative Pronoun (das)
➔ "Das bist du allein" uses "das" as a relative pronoun, referring back to the implied noun phrase (the beautiful one/die Schönste). It's like saying "and that is you alone."
-
Tut es immer, immer wieder so weh
➔ Impersonal Verb (es tut weh)
➔ "Es tut weh" is an impersonal verb construction. "Es" is a placeholder subject, and the actual subject is implied (pain). The repetition "immer, immer wieder" emphasizes the continuous nature of the pain. The "so" before "weh" intensifies the degree of pain.
-
Freunde kaufst du dir mit Geld
➔ Reflexive pronoun (dir) and Inversion
➔ "Freunde kaufst du dir mit Geld" includes the reflexive pronoun "dir," indicating that the action of buying is done *for* oneself, although indirectly (buying friends benefits the buyer). The sentence also employs inversion; the standard order would be "Du kaufst dir Freunde mit Geld." The inverted order emphasizes "Freunde."
-
Ja, dein Spiegel liebt nur dich mit deinem Makellosgesicht
➔ Possessive Adjective (dein) and Noun-Adjective Agreement
➔ "Dein Spiegel" uses the possessive adjective "dein" (your) to indicate ownership. "Makellosgesicht" (flawless face) demonstrates noun-adjective agreement. The adjective modifies the noun and its ending must agree with the gender, number, and case of the noun, although here, because it is a compound noun, only gender is relevant, and this isn't visible. The use of "nur" (only) emphasizes the mirror's exclusive focus on the person.
-
Will jedem Typ den Kopf verdreh'n
➔ Infinitive Clause with "zu" omitted
➔ The phrase "will jedem Typ den Kopf verdreh'n" includes the verb "verdrehen" (to turn/twist), meaning to turn someone's head (figuratively, to make them infatuated). While it's an infinitive construction typically requiring "zu" (zu verdrehen), in this case, "zu" is omitted after modal verbs like "will" (want to).
-
Du bist so heiß wie'n Kübel Eis, was soll der Scheiß?
➔ Comparative Adjective (wie... so)
➔ The phrase "Du bist so heiß wie'n Kübel Eis" employs a comparative structure. It compares how hot someone is *to* a bucket of ice. "So... wie" is a common way to make comparisons in German.
