Key Grammar Structures
-
Quiero que te pongas bonita
➔ Subjunctive mood after a verb of desire (Present Subjunctive)
➔ The verb "pongas" is in the subjunctive mood, triggered by "Quiero que" (I want that), which expresses a desire or command for a different subject. "te" is a reflexive pronoun referring to "tú".
-
Ya le marqué al pinche piloto
➔ Indirect Object Pronoun "le" and the "personal a" (Preterite tense)
➔ "le" is the indirect object pronoun (to him/her). It refers to "al pinche piloto" (to the damn pilot). Spanish often uses "a" before a direct or indirect object that refers to a person. The verb "marqué" is in the preterite tense, indicating a completed action in the past.
-
Y como este loco no hay como yo
➔ Impersonal "hay" and comparative structure
➔ "hay" is the impersonal form of "haber" (there is/are). "No hay" means "there isn't/aren't". The phrase "como este loco no hay como yo" means "there isn't anyone like this crazy person like me", implying uniqueness. "como" is used for comparison.
-
Materiales son los que tú menos pedías
➔ Relative pronoun "los que" and Imperfect tense for past habitual/ongoing action
➔ "los que" (those that/which) is a relative pronoun referring back to "Materiales". It acts as a definite article followed by "que". "pedías" is in the imperfect tense, indicating something you habitually or continuously asked for in the past.
-
Tú date vuelo
➔ Affirmative Reflexive Imperative (Idiomatic expression)
➔ "date" is the informal affirmative imperative form of "dar" (to give), combined with the reflexive pronoun "te" (yourself). "Darse vuelo" is an idiom meaning "to enjoy oneself freely" or "to go wild".
-
Invéntate una razón pa' que no le haga de pedo
➔ "Para que" + Subjunctive with reflexive imperative and indirect object pronoun
➔ "Invéntate" is an affirmative reflexive imperative (invent yourself). "pa' que" is a colloquial short form of "para que" (so that/in order that), which always triggers the subjunctive mood ("no le haga"). "le" is an indirect object pronoun (to him/her). "haga de pedo" is a colloquial idiom for "make a fuss".
-
nomás no te me aloques
➔ Double object pronouns in a negative reflexive imperative
➔ "no te me aloques" is a negative informal imperative. "te" is the reflexive pronoun (yourself), and "me" is an ethical dative or indirect object pronoun, adding emphasis or indicating that the action affects the speaker (lit. "don't go crazy on me"). "Aloques" is the present subjunctive form of "alocar" (to make crazy).
-
Si me quieres tendrás que aguantar los rumores
➔ Conditional Clause Type 1 (Si + Present Indicative, Future/Obligation)
➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence, expressing a real or very likely condition. "Si me quieres" (If you love me) is in the present indicative. The consequence "tendrás que aguantar" (you will have to put up with) uses the future tense and the obligation phrase "tener que" (to have to).
-
De hace tiempo te busco, mas no sé ni en dónde
➔ Temporal phrase "de hace tiempo" and formal conjunction "mas"
➔ "De hace tiempo" means "for a long time" or "since a long time ago," indicating an action that started in the past and continues to the present. "mas" is a more formal or literary equivalent of "pero" (but). "ni en dónde" means "not even where."
