r u perfect teacher
@vulgay Its kind of confusing that for english speakers, but it’s easy to understand: ser, ( soy, es, somos,son) its when you are reffering to “Who you are as a person”. For “Estar (estoy,está, estamos, están) its used when you are reffering to places or mood. For ex. Where are you? ¿dónde estás? answer: Yo estoy en Bogotá. How are you? ¿cómo estás? Yo estoy feliz. I am happy. Remember: Estar for places or mood, feelings etc, and Ser: For being or become.
Hi, the translation for IT, is Eso, right?
Yes, it exists a word to say ”a” it is ”un”
Example:
I am a student – Yo soy un estudiante
But if you’re a girl you must say ”una”
Example:
I am a student (female student) – Yo soy una estudiante
@vulgay in Spanish the verve to be have two signification, the conjugation to the verve estar is refers to some place ¿where are you?-Yo estoy, and conjugation to the verve ser Is to refers to the be the person, ¿who are yo?-yo soy
@vulgay its ok if you say tu estás bien but not tu eres bien. The sentence tu estas bien you can sue to answer ¿how am I? (if some person asks to you) But the sentence tu eres bien its not ok, in any case is tu eres bueno to refer if its a good person
Ser is for permanent conditions and estoy is for transient conditions.
I am Sam is pretty permanent. I am hot or happy are transient conditions Use ser in the first situation and estoy in the second situation.
once again u said that the vosotros form of estar is the same as the Uds.
its not. its vosotros estáis
hey, my friend… the difference is that “ser” refeers, for exampe, who are you, or what is your occupation… “I am a doctor” in spanish “Yo soy doctor”. And “estar” refeers, for example, a place: “I am in New York” in Spanish “Yo ESTOY en Nueva York” or it can refeer, also, how are you… “I am fine”… “Yo ESTOY bien”
And to answer your question, you can NEVER say “Tú eres bien”, you must say “Tú estás bien” and so with the pronouns and their respective conjugations…
sorry another question!
‘you are good’ in spanish is ‘Tu estas bien’ but can it be ‘Tu eres bien’ ? arent they the same? like they are both ‘ you are’ ?
whats the difference between ‘estas’ and eres’, ‘esta’ and ‘es’, ‘somos’ and ‘estamos’, ‘son’ and ‘estan’ please help! i’m really confused!
help! i dont get it!
1. what is ser and estar? is ser like: am, are, is while estar is: i am being, she is being, they are being? (in a place)
2. why are the verbs shown in lesson 1 different from lesson 2?
3. is there no spanish word to say ‘a’? like ‘i am a student’.. it is translated into ” Yo soy estudiante” in spanish but in actual English, it is ‘i am student’ which is wrong..
this is dumb just get a tutor
escrives? querrás decir escribes, devio? debió! oracion u oración, escribes casi perfecto el español
only the rr letter is rolled
But you don’t actually say “I’m student” in English. Ever.
It’s ALWAYS “I’m a student.”
So when would you say “Yo soy un estudiante”?
why is he rolling all of his R’s?????????????
Maybe Im just stupid…but is this stuff gettin harder or is it just me?
gracias por instruccion! pequenio y pequenio yo…umm learn..
escrives casi perfecto el español solo que asi devio quedar tu oracion:
EL español es muy dificil, pero estoy tratando DE HACER mi mejor ESFUERZO, gracias por estA leccion
You are a VERRRYYY good teacher!
Tnx. for all the videos you make …
I understand everythink!
I learn from you! <3
Nop. Write it as you want, “Yo” or “yo”, no problem.
The article “a” in spanish means: Un/una:
I´m A student = Yo soy UN estudiante.
I´m student = Soy estudiante.
hi people, i m italian i trying to learn spanish. my first question is: in spanish, are we obliged to write “Yo” with the Y big or we can alzo write “yo”. and another question: when i say “i am a student” we use the article “a”. does we have to use the article also in spanish or not?
thank you
That’s an easy explanation.. but.. There are lots of cases.. you can use “ser” and “estar” It isn’t always like that..
In general it’s like that..
Good job anyway cuz it’s the best I saw.. hehe
to make it easier, i always learned “how you feel and where you are, that is when you use estar”
it really helps me
yo soy de aquí = I am from here
yo estoy en la casa = I am in the house
basically estar is for places and temporary situations
