tu eres= you are
el/ella es= he/she is
nosotros somos= we are
ellos/ellas son= they are

can they be used with adjectives and verbs as well?Quote:

yo soy bella
Would Shakespeare's Hamlet be translated to "ser or no ser" then? :)
Ok, I'm not going to chip in, it's professor Miso's thread :) I'll just observe and learn.
okay this leads to the second lesson. the difference between ser and estar.Quote:

ser would be something permanent, estar is temporary...
soy misombra, estoy enferma (sick).
i won't always be sick, but i'll always be misombra.
for things like breathing... things with -ing in spanish end with endo, iendo, ando...
estoy respirando= i'm breathing.
estar=to be (temporary)
yo estoy= i am
tu estas= you are
el/ella esta= he/she is
nosotros estamos= we are
ellos/ellas estan= they are
You guys sound goofy. Just "soy" would work. You don't have to say "Yo soy"
Just like with guitar. "Tocar la guitarra"
Misombra: estoy = estar???
oops i hit edit instead of quote.
sorry!
estar means "to be." estoy means "i am."
in spanish verbs get conjugated. in english the verbs are also conjugated...
to be
I am
You are
He is
They are
We are
i edited post 8 to include the translations...

does estar apply more to verbs and ser to adjectives?
yes you could say that...
great, i am going to memorize all of that for today.

your signature says, "porque estas tan serio?"

Misombra, how many cases in Spanish?
cases?/////////////////
Nominative, Accusative, Dative, Genitive?
oh. i don't know.
Why then is it Te quiero, and not tu quiero?
it just is. i don't really analyze it that way i guess.
Doppel, Spanish doesn't have named cases like German. There are nominative, objective and possessive pronouns, so I guess it would be nominative, dative/accusative, and genitive, but they don't have the significance (or specific names) they have in other languages.
for example - first person singular - has pronouns:
yo (I) - nominative / me (me) - objective / mi (my) - possessive
Second person singular has
tu (you) - nominative / te (you) - objective / tu (your) - possessive
Personal pronouns are also the only thing that has any form of a case - adjectives and nouns are uninflected for case.
I think that's it, right Sombra?
yes lol. thank you!
estoy listo maestro misombra!
okay. i'm glad you keep bringing up new things.
in spanish you have masculine and feminine nouns.
since your female the correct way to say that is estoy lista. if a male were to say it, he would say estoy listo.
i suppose the next lesson would be other verb conjugation.
there are several kinds of verbs... verbs that end in -ar, ir, er, and irregular verbs.
i'll start with -ar verbs. let's use cantar as an example
cantar= to sing.
yo canto=i sing
tu cantas= you sing
el/ella canta= he/she sings
nosotros cantamos= we sing
ellos/ellas cantan= they sing
if you're trying to say you guys or you all, you would use ustedes and use the an at the end.
ustedes cantan= you guys sing.
yo= -ar--->o
tu= -ar--->as
el= -ar------>a
nosotros= -ar------>amos
ellos= -ar-------->an
so now for a quiz... conjugate this verb: bailar (to dance)
yo _________
tu __________
el__________
nosotros__________
ellos _____________
here's a hint:

nosotros bailamos
ellos bailan

i don't know what case this would be. i would guess posessive... but there's also mio, tuyo, suyo, nuestro...Quote:

if it's yo, it'll end with an o. that will go for all verbs in present tense.
yo bailo
yo canto
yo respiro
yo sonrio
yo miro...
what are some verbs you use a lot (in english)...?
eres superior... remember?Quote:
