Word for word: “Let’s hope that (it) gives everything right!”

Why it's built this way

The notes match the numbers above.

  1. 1
    Tomara que is the everyday "let’s hope". It always takes the subjunctive. Subjunctive after wishes, requests & emotions →
  2. 2
    dê: present subjunctive of dar, with a circumflex. Without it, de is "of". Present subjunctive: forms →
  3. 3
    tudo = everything, and it never changes form. Todo/toda means "whole" or "every". tudo vs todo & indefinite pronouns I →
  4. 4
    dar certo = to work out; dar errado = to go wrong. The subject (tudo) comes after the verb here.
