Questions & Answers about ¡Conque merodea en otro lugar, sinvergüenza!
Why do we use conque here instead of a regular "so" like así que?
While así que is a neutral "so," conque often carries a tone of reproach, warning, or sudden realization. It is frequently used with the imperative mood (like merodea) to tell someone the consequence of their actions, making it perfect for scolding a sinvergüenza.
Is merodea in the present indicative or the imperative mood here?
It is the informal tú imperative. Even though it looks exactly like the third-person present indicative (he/she prowls), the English translation "prowl" and the direct address of "scoundrel" confirm it is an affirmative command telling the person what to do.
Why does the sentence use en otro lugar instead of a otro lugar if the person is moving?
If I am talking to a male scoundrel, shouldn't the word be sinvergüenzo?
