    How it works

    This phrase uses the first person singular present tense of 'saber' (sé) and 'deber' (debo), followed by a reflexive infinitive 'quedarse'. 'No sé si' introduces a doubt or uncertainty about a proposition. The structure 'debo + infinitive' expresses obligation or recommendation, here indicating 'should'. The reflexive pronoun 'me' attached to 'quedar' specifies that the action of staying applies to the speaker.
