Grammar:

C'è un'aria strana stasera
➔ Existential "c'è"
➔ Uses "c'è" (there is) to introduce the presence of a strange atmosphere. Demonstrates basic sentence structure.
-
Io che basta pensarti e già mi manca il respiro
➔ Subjunctive mood (implicit), conjunction "che"
➔ The sentence implies a subjunctive mood because the feeling of missing someone is a consequence of simply thinking about them. "Che" connects the pronoun "io" to the clause expressing the consequence. Demonstrates a somewhat advanced use of syntax to express a complex emotion.
-
È da tempo che lo cerco questo tempo che mi manca
➔ Cleft sentence with "è da tempo che...", relative clause with "che"
➔ Emphasizes the duration of the search for time. "È da tempo che..." highlights the fact that the search has been ongoing for a long time. The relative clause "che mi manca" describes the missing time. Showcases sentence structuring for emphasis and complex description.
-
So quanto costa per te
➔ Indirect question with "quanto"
➔ "Quanto" introduces an indirect question, indicating the speaker knows the cost for the other person but doesn't state it directly. Demonstrates understanding of complex question formation.
-
Meriti anche tu un posto da visitare
➔ Infinitive clause as complement of a noun

-
E ti dedico il rumore Di queste inutili parole
➔ Genitive case with "di"
➔ "Di queste inutili parole" uses "di" to express a genitive relationship, indicating that the noise is *of* these useless words. Demonstrates the use of prepositions to show possession or relation.
-
Che è andato via volare altrove
➔ Compound verb tense (passato prossimo with intransitive verb), infinitive as adverbial modifier
➔ "È andato via" is the *passato prossimo* of the verb *andare*, indicating a completed action in the past. "Volare altrove" (to fly elsewhere) is an infinitive phrase modifying the verb *andare*, indicating *how* or *why* it went away. Demonstrates sophisticated use of verb tenses and infinitive constructions.
-
Questa sera provo a farlo
➔ Verb phrase with preposition + infinitive
➔ "Provo a farlo" uses the verb "provare" (to try) followed by the preposition "a" and the infinitive "fare" (to do). This structure is common for expressing attempts or intentions. Demonstrates a common, but important, verb construction.
