➔ The verbs "Sácala", "dale", and "úsala" command specific actions, showing direct and emphatic instructions.
-
No le tengas miedo

-
Si es cuestión de morir, primero que se mueran ellos
➔ Hypothetical clause with subjunctive in the subordinate (se mueran).
➔ ‘Si es cuestión de morir’ introduces a condition; ‘que se mueran’ uses the subjunctive to express an uncertain outcome or wish.
-
Déjalos que se tiren
➔ Periphrasis with verb + que + subjunctive (‘déjalos que se tiren’).
➔ ‘Déjalos que se tiren’ means ‘let them act’ — when using ‘dejar’ + ‘que’, the next verb takes subjunctive (‘se tiren’).
-
Ustedes no son bravos?
➔ Interrogative rhetorical question with inversion omitted.
➔ The phrase doesn’t expect an answer; it emphasizes irony, keeping the normal subject–verb order typical of colloquial Spanish.
-
Viste cómo el Tonka los demole
➔ Use of preterite ‘viste’ with present ‘demole’ for narrative contrast.
➔ Switching tenses shows immediate action (‘you saw’) and ongoing reality (‘he destroys’), creating vivid narration.
-
Yo sigo haciendo chavos
➔ Periphrastic continuous with ‘seguir + gerund’ expressing ongoing action.
➔ ‘Sigo haciendo’ means ‘I keep doing’; this expresses persistence over time.
-
Yo vengo desde que corren los Momo

➔ ‘Desde que’ introduces the time something started — here it marks when the speaker’s activity began.
-
Este es Naldo, que hoy te presenta la mejor producción
➔ Relative clause with ‘que’ functioning as the subject connector.
➔ ‘Que’ connects ‘Naldo’ to the action ‘te presenta’, forming a defining relative clause describing who he is.
