Grammaire:

• Y me vale madre Que estés saliendo con la competencia

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after expressions of emotion/indifference ('me vale madre')

  ➔ The phrase "me vale madre" expresses indifference. After such expressions, the subjunctive mood is often used. Therefore, "estés saliendo" is in the subjunctive.

• Que tus amigas no sean buena influencia

  ➔ Subjunctive mood in subordinate clauses expressing doubt or uncertainty.

  ➔ Here, the speaker is expressing a subjective opinion/concern/uncertainty, thus triggering the use of the subjunctive in the subordinate clause introduced by "que". Therefore, "sean" is in the subjunctive.

• Si ya dejaste que te diera un beso

  ➔ Use of "dejar que" + subjunctive. "Dejar que" means "to allow". When followed by a verb, the verb is conjugated in subjunctive when expressing a permission given for a potential or hypothetical action.

  ➔ Even though it's in the past, the action of giving the kiss wasn't necessarily a completed certainty for the speaker at the time of permission. Thus, "diera" is in the subjunctive.

• Y a mí me vale madre que amanezcas encuerada

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after expressions of emotion/indifference ('me vale madre')

  ➔ Similar to the first example, "me vale madre" requires the use of the subjunctive in the subordinate clause. Therefore, "amanezcas" is in the subjunctive.

• Con el hombre que no amas porque estás desubicada

  ➔ Indicative vs. Subjunctive in relative clauses. Here, the indicative "amas" is used because the speaker is stating it as a fact that she doesn't love the man.

  ➔ If the speaker was unsure or doubtful that she didn't love the man, the subjunctive would be used.

• Pero a mí me vale madre que te estén utilizando

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after expressions of emotion/indifference ('me vale madre')

  ➔ Another example of "me vale madre" requiring the subjunctive. "Estén utilizando" is in the subjunctive.
