Leggimi la mano e capirai chi sono
➔ Imperative mood (Leggi) + Indirect Question (chi sono)
➔ The sentence uses the imperative mood to tell someone to read his hand. "Chi sono" is an indirect question embedded within the main clause; instead of 'who am I?' it's 'who I am'.
-
Ho capito che la gente ha mille sfumature
➔ Subordinate clause introduced by "che" + "avere" in present simple (ha) + noun(sfumature)
➔ "Che" introduces a subordinate clause functioning as the direct object of the verb "ho capito" (I understood). It indicates the content of what was understood.
-
Che è sempre la persona a cui tieni che ti delude
➔ Relative clause with "a cui" + Verb "delude" in present simple (ti delude)
➔ "A cui" is a relative pronoun indicating the indirect object of the verb "tieni". The relative clause modifies "la persona".
-
Prima o poi le lacrime annegheranno te stesso
➔ Future tense (annegheranno) + reflexive pronoun (te stesso)
➔ "Annegheranno" is the third-person plural future tense of the verb "annegarare" (to drown). "Te stesso" is a reflexive pronoun emphasizing that the tears will drown *yourself*.
-
Scusa se non sono quello che volevi
➔ Conditional clause with "se" + subjunctive mood (volevi)
➔ The "se" clause introduces a condition for the apology. "Volevi" is in the imperfect subjunctive, indicating a hypothetical situation in the past.
-
Oggi sto peggio di domani ma meglio di ieri
➔ Comparative adjectives: peggio (worse), meglio (better) + Prepositions: di (than)
➔ The sentence uses comparative adjectives "peggio" and "meglio" to compare the speaker's current state to how he anticipates feeling tomorrow and how he felt yesterday. "Di" introduces the element being compared to.
-
Tu puoi cambiare il tuo futuro ma non ciò che eri
➔ Modal verb "puoi" + Infinitive (cambiare) + "ciò che" (what) + imperfect tense (eri)
➔ "Puoi cambiare" uses the modal verb "puoi" (can) followed by the infinitive "cambiare" (to change). "Ciò che eri" uses "ciò che" to refer to 'what' you were in the past, with "eri" being the imperfect tense of "essere" (to be), emphasizing a state of being.
-
Ma ovunque andremo noi saremo sempre fuori luogo
➔ Future tense (saremo) + Subordinating conjunction "ovunque" (wherever)
➔ "Ovunque" introduces a subordinate clause specifying the location, and "saremo" is the future simple tense of "essere," indicating a future state. The sentence expresses that no matter where they go, they will always feel out of place.
