Posts: 711It should more correctly be, 'me importa UN carajo' although I seem to hear it more without the indefinite article.

Similarly in Spanish, 'Si yo quiero hago algo, lo hago. ' If I want to do something, I do it. Nothing conditional about that sentence starting with if!

Si + imperfect subjunctive tense + conditional tense.
But I'm not sure.
There is one gringo who could answer questions like this even better than most Mexicans, Dickhead. But unfortunately he hasn't been around the board for a while.
Like Gallo Ingles says, either way works. Maybe when you use "Si + imperfect subunctive + present tense" you're expressing more certainty than if you used conditional. It's like saying "I don't know" (present) versus "I wouldn't know" (conditional).

Posts: 3380So, I was watching a JLo video last night with a Mexican chica, and JLo sang:
"Si tú te fueras, yo no sé lo que haría".
I think it's incorrect Spanish (although song lyrics are commonly incorrect). I believe the correct grammar is:
"Si tú te fueras, yo no sabria que hacer".
What do the experts think?

For example, if someone (who is speaking English as a second language) said to you (a native English speaker): "Yesterday, I go to the hardware store to buy groceries. ", you would assume that they meant "Yesterday, I went to the grocery store to buy groceries. " You would automatically correct (in your mind) the incorrect verb tense and the incorrect noun.
You might, though, question if the speaker meant hardware store or grocery store or somesuch but you would understand.
