Key Grammar Structures
-
Alle meine Freunde sagen: "Lass die Finger von ihr"
➔ Imperative
➔ The phrase "Lass die Finger von ihr" uses the imperative form of the verb "lassen" (to leave/let). It's an informal command meaning "Leave her alone" or "Stay away from her".
-
Denn ich bin kaum noch zu ertragen, ich red immer von dir
➔ "zu + adjective + sein/werden" construction
➔ The phrase "kaum noch zu ertragen" uses the construction "zu + adjective + sein/werden", which indicates something is barely tolerable. "ertragen" is the infinitive form of the verb. It translates to "barely tolerable/bearable".
-
Frag mich, ob du grad allein bist oder fühlst du grad das Gleiche?
➔ Indirect question with 'ob'
➔ The phrase "Frag mich, ob du grad allein bist..." contains an indirect question introduced by the conjunction "ob" (whether/if). It transforms the direct question "Bist du grad allein?" into a subordinate clause.
-
Denn immer wenn du mir gegenüber sitzt Und du mich berührst, hab ich das Gefühl, dass es so wie früher ist
➔ Subordinate clause with 'wenn' (when) and 'dass' (that)
➔ This sentence showcases complex sentence structure using subordinate clauses. The "wenn" clause (Wenn du mir gegenüber sitzt Und du mich berührst) indicates a time condition. The "dass" clause (dass es so wie früher ist) expresses the content of the feeling. It shows temporal condition and the content of a feeling.
-
Wie oft ich Briefe an dich schreib Und sie wieder zerreiß
➔ Relative clause indicating frequency with "wie oft"
➔ The phrase "Wie oft ich Briefe an dich schreib" uses "wie oft" to introduce a relative clause that describes the frequency of an action (writing letters).
-
Und dass ich dich liebe und so 'n Scheiß
➔ Informal Language and Slang ('n Scheiß')
➔ The expression "so 'n Scheiß" is a very informal and colloquial way to say "and stuff like that" or "and other similar nonsense". It expresses a degree of dismissal or downplaying of the preceding statement.
-
Weil ich will, dass niemand davon weiß
➔ Subordinate clause with 'dass' (that) after 'weil' (because)
➔ This sentence demonstrates the use of a 'weil' (because) clause to provide a reason, followed by a 'dass' (that) clause which expresses the content of what the speaker wants. 'Weil' introduces the reason, and 'dass' connects the reason to the speaker's desire. It means: because I want that nobody knows about it.
-
Ich war an deiner Tür, nur geklopft hab ich nicht
➔ Inversion for emphasis (geklopft hab ich nicht)
➔ Normally, the word order would be "Ich hab nicht geklopft". Inverting it to "geklopft hab ich nicht" places extra emphasis on the verb "geklopft" (knocked). This makes the sentence more emphatic, highlighting the fact that the speaker didn't knock, even though they were at the door.
