Key Grammar Structures
-
Si tomo ya no como.
➔ Type 1 Conditional Sentence with 'ya no'
➔ This is a Type 1 conditional sentence (real conditional): "Si + present simple, present simple." It expresses a general truth or habitual action. The phrase "ya no" means "no longer" or "not anymore" (e.g., "If I drink, I no longer eat.").
-
Me encierro por mi solo.
➔ Reflexive verb with 'por sí solo'
➔ The verb "encerrarse" is a reflexive verb, meaning "to shut oneself in". The phrase "por mi solo" (colloquial for "por mí solo") means "by myself" or "on my own", emphasizing that the action is done without anyone else's help or presence.
-
el trap se rompe.
➔ Reflexive Passive / Impersonal 'se'
➔ The "se" in "se rompe" is used to form the reflexive passive (or impersonal "se"), indicating that the action of "breaking" happens to "the trap" without specifying who performs it. It can be translated as "the trap is broken" or "the trap gets broken".
-
Me quedo sin gas
➔ Idiomatic expression 'quedarse sin'
➔ The reflexive verb "quedarse" combined with the preposition "sin" forms the idiom "quedarse sin". It means "to run out of something" or "to be without something". Here, "I run out of gas".
-
me la quiero chingar.
➔ Object pronouns with 'querer + infinitive'
➔ "Me" is an indirect object pronoun and "la" is a direct object pronoun. In Spanish, object pronouns usually precede the conjugated verb, even when the action is related to an infinitive (verb + infinitive structure). The verb "chingar" is very colloquial and can mean "to screw" or "to conquer/dominate" in this context.
-
no, no me lo quito.
➔ Multiple object pronouns with reflexive verb and negation
➔ This sentence uses two object pronouns, "me" (reflexive, indicating "from myself") and "lo" (direct object, referring to "the devil's suit"), which precede the conjugated reflexive verb "quito" (from "quitarse", to take off). The double "no" emphasizes the negation.
-
siempre re bonito.
➔ Colloquial intensifier 're-'
➔ The prefix "re-" is a common colloquial intensifier in Spanish, especially in Argentina. It is equivalent to "very", "really", or "super" and is attached directly to adjectives or adverbs. So, "re bonito" means "very beautiful" or "really pretty".
-
Este beat me va a dormir
➔ Periphrastic future with indirect object pronoun
➔ The periphrastic future tense, formed by "ir a" + infinitive ("ir a dormir"), indicates an action that will happen in the near future. "Me" is an indirect object pronoun, here indicating that the action of sleeping will affect the speaker (i.e., "put me to sleep").
-
Le falta vivir.
➔ Impersonal use of 'faltar'
➔ The verb "faltar" is used impersonally here, meaning "to lack" or "to be missing". "Le" is the indirect object pronoun (referring to "you/them" from the previous line). So, "They lack living experience" or "They need to live more".
-
Hago magia como si nada.
➔ Idiomatic expression 'como si nada' (implying subjunctive)
➔ "Como si nada" is a common idiomatic expression meaning "as if it were nothing" or "effortlessly". Grammatically, "como si" usually requires the imperfect subjunctive (e.g., "como si no fuera nada"). However, in colloquial speech, "nada" is often used directly, implying the full subjunctive clause.
