Key Grammar Structures
-
Me leva nessa viagem com você bebê, me leva
➔ Imperative mood (leva)
➔ The verb "leva" is in the imperative mood, giving a direct command or request. It means "take me".
-
E eu já pedi pra Deus pra que volta-se o antes
➔ Subjunctive mood (volta-se) after 'pedi pra que'
➔ The subjunctive mood "volta-se" is used because it expresses a wish or a desire. The phrase "pedi pra que" (I asked that) necessitates the use of the subjunctive in the subordinate clause.
-
Que se fosse diferente eu faria o mesmo erro
➔ Conditional sentences Type 2 (Se + Imperfect Subjunctive, Conditional Simple)
➔ This is a type 2 conditional sentence, expressing an unreal or hypothetical situation in the present. "Se fosse diferente" (if it were different - imperfect subjunctive) expresses the condition, and "eu faria" (I would do - conditional simple) expresses the result.
-
Acha que aquilo tem volta, que de fato é um exagero
➔ Indirect speech / Reported speech (Acha que...)
➔ "Acha que..." introduces indirect speech, reporting what someone thinks or believes. The conjunction "que" connects the main clause with the subordinate clause containing the reported thought.
-
Meu mal foi ter dado a vida por gente Que não estava presente nem no dia do meu enterro
➔ Relative clause with "que" (Que não estava presente)
➔ The clause "Que não estava presente nem no dia do meu enterro" is a relative clause that modifies "gente". It provides additional information about the people who were not present even on the day of the speaker's funeral.
-
Sendo que eu nunca liguei pra essa porra
➔ Gerund phrase introducing an explanation (Sendo que...)
➔ "Sendo que" functions similarly to "considering that" or "given that". It introduces a reason or explanation for the preceding statement, using the gerund form "sendo".
-
Pena que adoçante não é açúcar
➔ Use of 'pena que' expressing regret
➔ 'Pena que' is an expression equivalent to 'It's a shame that' or 'It's too bad that'. It expresses regret or disappointment about a certain situation.
-
Deixa eu viajar na tua viagem
➔ Causative verb 'deixar' + infinitive
➔ The verb "deixar" followed by an infinitive (viajar) creates a causative construction, meaning "let me travel" or "allow me to travel". It indicates permission or allowance.
