Key Grammar Structures
-
Soy muy puta y no trabajo para vos
➔ Negation with **no + verb**; Intensifier **muy**; Preposition **para**
➔ The sentence uses the negation "no" before the verb ""trabajo"" to show that the speaker does not work for you. The adverb ""muy"" intensifies the adjective "puta", and "para" marks the indirect object "vos".
-
No voy a ser tu ramera
➔ Future periphrastic construction **ir a + infinitive**; Negation with **no**
➔ The phrase "No" negates the future periphrasis "voy a ser"; together they mean "I am not going to be your prostitute".
-
No limpio lo que ensucias
➔ Relative clause with **lo que**; Negation with **no**
➔ The negation "No" precedes the verb ""limpio"". The clause ""lo que ensucias"" ("what you dirty") is a **relative clause** introduced by "lo que".
-
Soy astuta y no investigo para vos
➔ Negation with **no + verb**; Coordination with **y**; Preposition **para**
➔ The speaker says "I am clever" ("Soy astuta") and then negates the action ""investigo"" with "no", adding the prepositional phrase "para vos" ("for you").
-
Desátame, no quiero colaborar
➔ Imperative mood with direct object pronoun **-me**; Negation with **no + verb**
➔ The verb ""Desátame"" is an **imperative** with the clitic ""me"" attached, meaning "Untie me". It is followed by the negated statement "no quiero colaborar" ("I don't want to collaborate").
-
No voy a ser prisionera de tu organismo feudal
➔ Future periphrasis **ir a + infinitive**; Negation with **no**; Possessive preposition **de**
➔ The negated future phrase "no voy a ser" means "I am not going to be". The noun phrase "prisionera de tu organismo feudal" ("prisoner of your feudal organism") is introduced by the possessive preposition "de".
-
Vivo inmersa en un estilo ya sin vida
➔ Past participle used as adjective (**inmersa**); Prepositional phrase **en**; Temporal adverb **ya**
➔ The verb "Vivo" is followed by the past participle ""inmersa"" used adjectivally, meaning "I live immersed". The prepositional phrase "en un estilo ya sin vida" adds "in a style that is already lifeless".
-
Yo pertenezco a cualquiera, no al que me pueda comprar
➔ Verb **pertenecer a** + noun; Negation with **no**; Relative clause with **que** + subjunctive **pueda**
➔ The speaker states "Yo ""pertenezco"" to anyone ("a cualquiera"). The clause after the comma uses negation "no" and a relative clause "al que me ""pueda"" comprar" ("to the one who could buy me"). The verb "pueda" is in the **subjunctive** because it is hypothetical.
-
Soy rock
➔ Copular verb **ser** + noun as predicative complement
➔ The simple sentence uses the copular verb ""soy"" with the noun ""rock"" as a predicative complement, meaning "I am rock" (identifying oneself with the genre).
