No me va a pasar nada.

Question

Dear all,

I would like to know meaning of { no me va a pasar nada } in below sentence:

• No tienes por qu'e preocuparte por m'i. No me va a pasar nada.

meaning : you don't have to worry me , i will be alright . --> is it correct? I am not sure the structure of { no me va a pasar nada } . 1} is "me " a reflexive of pasarse? 2) why "va" is used , but not 'voy" ?

Please point me out if i am wrong, Thanks very much.

Answer 1

Va is used rather than voy because "nothing" is the subject of the verb pasar (happen).

...nothing is going to happen to me. "me" is an i.o.p.; not a reflexive pronoun

ir+a+pasar=going to happen (periphrasis for future tense)

Just another example of where Spanish puts the subject after the verb.

Nada va a pasarme. Would have been possible, but more awkward.
