Grammar:

• Meine Mutter sagt: "Junge, geh mal schlafen, fahr mal in' Urlaub"

  ➔ Imperative Mood (Geh mal schlafen, fahr mal in' Urlaub)

  ➔ The imperative mood is used to give commands or make requests. "Geh mal schlafen" (Go to sleep) and "fahr mal in Urlaub" (Go on vacation) are direct instructions.

• Aber wie auch, wenn niemand rausschaut

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Konjunktiv II) with "auch"

  ➔ The phrase "wie auch" implies a rhetorical question or a condition that is unlikely. It suggests "how could they, anyway?" or "how else would it be possible?" The "auch" emphasizes the already implied impossibility.

• Und bevor du etwas falsch machst, dann mach mal lieber gar nichts

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood (Konjunktiv I) in an indirect command/advice with 'bevor' clause, conditional sentence structure

  ➔ This sentence uses a "bevor" clause (before) to set a condition. The recommended action is to do nothing, presented as advice to avoid mistakes. While not strictly Konjunktiv I, the underlying idea of a hypothetical situation leading to a recommended action is similar.

• Ansonsten musst du halt zufrieden sein mit dem, was du hast

  ➔ Modal Verb "müssen" + Infinitive, Relative Clause "was du hast"

  ➔ "Musst" (must) indicates obligation or necessity. "Zufrieden sein" (to be content) is in infinitive form. "Was du hast" (what you have) is a relative clause acting as the object of the preposition "mit" (with).

• Und selbst wenn alles scheiße ist, du pleite bist und sonst nichts kannst

  ➔ Conditional Clause with "wenn" + Inversion (with verb before subject in the main clause)

  ➔ This is a conditional clause using "wenn" (if). Although there isn't inversion actually here, the sentence implies it by setting a extreme condition: even if everything is bad... Then the next part (not in the given content) would contain the action.

• Dann sei doch einfach stolz auf dein Land

  ➔ Imperative Mood with Particle "doch"

  ➔ "Sei" (be) is the imperative form of "sein" (to be). "Doch" here functions as a particle to add emphasis or insistence to the command. It suggests a more encouraging or slightly exasperated tone.

• Und nein ich war nie Anti-Alles ich war immer Anti-Ihr

  ➔ Contrasting Past Tense statements with "nie" (never) and "immer" (always)

  ➔ This line uses contrasting adverbs of frequency ("nie" and "immer") to emphasize the speaker's stance. They were never against everything, but always against "you/them".

• Ich muss hier weg, denn ansonsten werde ich irgendwann wie ihr

  ➔ Modal verb "müssen" (must) + Subjunctive I (wäre) in conditional sentence (explicit consequence)

  ➔ "Ich muss hier weg" expresses obligation. The "denn ansonsten" (because otherwise) introduces the consequence if the speaker doesn't leave. The intended Subjunctive here is "werde", which is a future conditional form, indicating what will happen if the condition is not met.
