Me da rabia que el wifi falle durante la videollamada.

Dar rabia is a very common Spanish way to express annoyance, frustration, or anger.

Literally, me da rabia means it gives me rage/annoyance, but in natural English it often matches it annoys me, it makes me mad, or it really frustrates me.

So:

• Me da rabia que el wifi falle = It annoys me / It makes me mad that the wifi fails
• Me enfada que el wifi falle is also correct, but me da rabia often sounds a bit more emotional or frustrated.

In Spain, rabia in this kind of sentence often means everyday frustration, not just extreme rage.

Me is an indirect object pronoun, meaning to me.

The pattern is:

• dar + emotion/noun + a alguien

So:

• Me da rabia = It gives annoyance to me
• Te da rabia = It gives annoyance to you
• Le da rabia = It gives annoyance to him/her

Spanish often uses this structure where English would just use I am annoyed or it annoys me.

You can also say:

• A mí me da rabia...

The a mí is optional and adds emphasis: As for me / me personally, it annoys me...

Because after an expression of emotion like me da rabia que..., Spanish normally uses the subjunctive.

So:

• Me da rabia que el wifi falle ✅
• Me da rabia que el wifi falla ❌

This happens because the speaker is reacting emotionally to a situation, rather than just stating a plain fact.

Very common triggers for the subjunctive include expressions like:

• me alegra que... = I’m glad that...
• me molesta que... = it bothers me that...
• me da pena que... = it makes me sad that...
• me da rabia que... = it annoys me that...

So the structure is:

• emotion/reaction + que + subjunctive

Falle comes from the verb fallar, which means to fail, to malfunction, or sometimes to let someone down.

Here it refers to technology not working properly.

Present subjunctive of fallar:

• yo falle
• tú falles
• él/ella/usted falle
• nosotros fallemos
• vosotros falléis
• ellos/ellas/ustedes fallen

So in the sentence:

• que el wifi falle = that the wifi fail / that the wifi should malfunction

In natural English, we usually would not translate the subjunctive literally; we just say that the wifi fails or that the wifi stops working.

In Spain, el wifi is very common and is usually the safest choice for learners.

You may also hear la wifi from some speakers, often because they are mentally thinking of la conexión wifi. But for standard Spain-focused Spanish, el wifi is the most neutral option.

So:

• el wifi falla = the wifi fails

A learner using el wifi in Spain will sound completely natural.

Durante means during.

So:

• durante la videollamada = during the video call

It emphasizes that the problem happens while the video call is in progress.

You could also hear:

• en la videollamada

But durante is a little more precise when you want to stress the time period. It highlights that the wifi fails at some point in the course of the call.

Yes. Videollamada is normally written as one word.

It is formed from:

• video
• llamada

So:

• videollamada = video call

Another possible way to say it is:

• llamada de vídeo

Both are understandable, but videollamada is very common and natural.

Yes, that is also natural, but the grammar and nuance are slightly different.

• Me da rabia que el wifi falle durante la videollamada

  • classic emotion + que + subjunctive structure
  • focuses on the fact/event that annoys you

• Me da rabia cuando falla el wifi durante la videollamada

  • means It annoys me when the wifi fails during the video call
  • sounds more like whenever that happens

So the second version can feel a bit more general or habitual. Both are correct.

Yes. Both are correct:

• que el wifi falle
• que falle el wifi

Spanish allows more flexibility in word order than English.

The version in your sentence, que el wifi falle, is straightforward and neutral.
Que falle el wifi is also very natural and may put a little more focus on the event itself: that the wifi fails.

So there is no major meaning change here.

It can be either, depending on context.

Spanish often uses the present like this for:

• a general annoyance
• a recurring problem
• a complaint about something happening now or around now

So Me da rabia que el wifi falle durante la videollamada could mean:

• It annoys me that the wifi fails during the video call
  or
• It annoys me when the wifi fails during video calls

If you wanted to make it clearly about a past, specific event, you would usually shift the tense:

• Me dio rabia que el wifi fallara durante la videollamada.
  • It annoyed me / I was annoyed that the wifi failed during the video call.

Yes, depending on exactly what you mean.

For example:

• Me da rabia que el wifi falle...

  • the wifi fails / malfunctions / does not work properly

• Me da rabia que se caiga el wifi...

  • the wifi drops / goes down / cuts out

• Me da rabia que se corte la conexión...

  • the connection cuts out

So fallar is a good general verb for something not working, while caerse or cortarse can sound more specific if the connection drops unexpectedly.

Not in this structure.

After me da rabia, if you want to introduce a full clause, you normally need que:

• Me da rabia que el wifi falle ✅

That que links the emotional reaction to the situation causing it.

Without que, the sentence would not work properly if you keep the full clause. Spanish uses this pattern very consistently:

• Me gusta que...
• Me molesta que...
• Me sorprende que...
• Me da rabia que...

So que is an essential part of the structure here.
