Pourquoi elle est construite ainsi
Les notes correspondent aux numéros ci-dessus.
- 1convenirle a alguien = to be good for someone, built like gustar. Conjugates like venir: conviene. Verbs like gustar II: doler, parecer, quedar, importar, molestar, faltar →
- 2que te lo digo yo = take it from me. que introduces the justification. Colloquial, very common in Spain. Double object pronouns (se lo) and clitic placement →
- 3yo at the end is the focus: "I'm the one telling you". Spanish moves the stressed element to the end.
