Ser or estar? [Speaking Spanish]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 дек 2012
- In this Spanish lesson you will learn when to use the verbs "ser" and "estar." A lot of people find it difficult to recognize when to use these verbs, but this video will show you when to use each of them. "¿Cómo es?" or "¿cómo está?" After this class, you won't be confused. In English you have the verbs "to be" and in Spanish, there are two equivalente verbs for this verb to be: ser & estar. In general terms, in Spanish, you will always use the verb "ser" if you are going to talk about long term qualities. You will use the Spanish verb "estar" if you are going to talk about temporary qualities. In addition, the verb "estar" will always be used to specify your or someone else's location. Let's review this: I am a human. Soy humana vs I am happy. The former is something I can't change. The latter is something for now temporary. If you get me upset, I will no longer be happy. You can also ask me where I am. I will say |estoy en México" because I am giving you my location. In this video I will give you more tips and tricks in Spanish so you have clues to decide if you are going to use the verb "ser" or the verb "estar". Watch my video and start mastering the fundamentals of Spanish language. It will not take you long and you will be much more fluent in Spanish.

Anyone here since Covid-19? Love her classes!
Just started Yesterday.
You should learn Chinese because China is going to take over the world soon
Me
@@user-di4ec1bk1d I wouldn't be surprised :p I'll be learning Chinese as well. Focusing on Spanish for now though.
She is my first Spanish teacher.
This video is more helpful than the $1500 Spanish class I'm forced to take at my university.
Poor thing
Yes the teacher is attractive hahaha
my friend ..i just realized for the past month...never go to learn a language in class before you learn youtube..i have been learnish spanish from youtube and i can imagine my progress in just 1 month
suerte aprendiendo español, saludos desde Argentina buenos Aires
@Cyberpunk
Cuz Ana actually wants to make us spanish speakers that can talk spanish freely and fluently (and she is a good person in general) - if she make her online classes good (which is the case with her) more people watch and she is making money that way, but if the teacher is at school, I mean not every teacher at school, but these htat are at schools have the opportunity to not teach good and to not care (not just the teachers that teach you languages every type of teacher have the opportunity to do such a thing...Is is good is another question) and still taking the same amount of money for doing basically nothing...Which I think is irresponsible btw
When I think of it, it actually made sense 😂
She's most definitely a Jedi, and we are her padawans. Watching her first video and the ones shes made to day, is incredible to see how much shes learned as a teacher and how she applies to her lessons!
I'm kicking myself for not learning Spanish earlier in life, but no time like today to start!
For me the best way to understand this complicated stuff:
TO BE: two verbs in spanish
i) Ser
ii) Estar
My recipe is:
---------------------------
Number one verb "Ser" means a PERMANTENT condition
Number two verb "Estar" means a TEMPORARY condition
For example "how are you? " in spanish you are talking about a TEMPORARY condition you must say "¿cómo estás?" in this case. If you say "I'm a man" you are talking about a PERMANENT condition so you must say "Soy un hombre" NEVER "Estoy un hombre". Other example If I translate"I'm drunk" into spanish with "soy borracho" I mean a permanent condition I mean I'm an alcoholic because "soy" implies a PERMANENT SITUATION. But if I mean a temporary condition I'd say "estoy borracho", tomorrow I'll be handover and the day after tomorrow I'll feel ok again.
Un Chileno exacto, es asi
O thank you!!
Kris Jordan hey pretty! I can show you how to speak Spanish. Even we can texting by cell phone if you want. There's only one way to learn and speak Spanish, or other languages: PRACTICE.
Kris Jordan ooh! Wow. I would like to know Spain. Quiero probar la tortilla de patatas, paella, chicharro al chacolì y demás. I know there are many places to visit. Ronda, Figueres, Las Ramblas, La Concha, Marvella. I love España. And also I speak Russian as well.
I am a native speaker of Spanish language and can tell what... I never think in that because i'm a native and to me is so easy don't think in this, to me is weirdest you see complicated because to me somethings of your language are complicated for example the use of another and other is so hard knows when use it.
PS: Please don't kill me for the bad english.
In Spanish we say clases for lessons! You would say: "Tus clases son muy buenas." Thank you for watching my videos.
I'm from Poland and I study Spanish and English at School. I have studied English since I was 4 years old. Now I am 15 and I'm talkig English quite good. I started learn Spanish 1 year ago but my teacher is so bad! I don't understend anything! When I watched this video I know everything! Thank u so much! Kisses
I'm from Venezuela, Spanish is my native language, i'm happy for you, do you live in poland? Greetings!
Eres la primera que veo en RUclips que enseña español con seriedad, muy buen canal.
Ser is used to classify and identify permanent or lasting attributes. If the general rule isn´t specific enough for you, think of the acronym DOCTOR, which stands for Description, Occupation, Characteristic, Time, Origin, and Relationship.
Estar is used to indicate temporary states and locations. If the general rule doesn´t suffice, think of the acronym PLACE, which stands for Position, Location, Action, Condition, and Emotion.
Kyle Frost Gracias :)
I didn't understand the difference and then i googled it. So i posted it, if anyone else had the same problem! And it's cool and fun way to remember ti! :D
Because I am also an etymologist (meaning not just a linguist), I think of "ser" as the sedentary "to be" verb and "estar" as the "to be" verb about standing. Here's how I think of the DOCTOR acronym as of what would make "ser" sedentary:
Description-whatever directly describes a noun "sits" as true by staying that way for at least a long, long time.
Occupation-such a thing "sits" as for assigning someone a title.
Characteristic-"sits" as part of someone or something.
Time-time "sits" by always moving forward and never pausing or reversing.
Origin-a beginning that now "sits" in the past.
Relationship-This fact "sits" by remaining true and can't be changed if it's consanguinity (relationship via birth).
Here's how I think of the PLACE acronym as of what "estar" has to do with standing:
Position-such a thing typically means standing.
Location-for a physical noun because an object stands in its location, and a person cannot remain in the same place forever, although he or she might sit there for a while.
Action-such a thing "stands" while being done.
Condition-this "stands" in someone or something currently and doesn't directly describe the noun.
Emotion-how someone feels for a seriously known limited time "stands" in the person's mind by not remaining there for more than a few days.
Kyle Frost thanks!
It's an 90% accuracy rate
Spanish is a beautiful language, yet it gets hard sometimes while learning verbs and conjugations. I'm Mexican and I speak Spanish, but I relate the Spanish learning process to my experience in learning French; they're so much alike.
And just to help others to keep thing clear, there are a lot of differences between Spanish in each country. An easy example is the pronoun "vosotros" used in Spain, which in Latin America is "Ustedes". I would highly recommend you to learn Spanish from any country and later focus on a specific country, so you can learn all the idiomatic expressions and the grammar changes.
Very good video by the way! If I had to learn spanish as a second language I would totally use it.
PD: I wrote this in English so most people can understand it. :)
Xd
Haha true
Who’s learning just today of 2020? 👋🏽
Papa Cologne 👋🏼
meee
me too
2021
You really are a lifesaver. I am learning more in your 10 minute videos than I have learned all semester! I think I might actually be confident on my final tomorrow. Thank you so much!
When it comes to teaching Ana you really are a Jedi!!!! Please keep sharing your boundless positive energy as you are helping me (& no doubt loads of others) learn - GENIUS!!!
I have been studying Spanish for about 8 years, but I still find your videos very helpful. Please don't stop making videos :) And perhaps you could make a video on example situations where the subjunctive tense should be used? Or when to use por or para? Anyway, thanks for the videos!
these lessons are excellent - just long enough to concentrate - very clear
This is the best instruction on the proper use of Ser and Estar. Thank you.
¡Gracias! Yo también estoy muy contenta (I am also very happy)
Qué bueno que te gustan mis clases. Saludos.
I wish more people had your great personality! Thank you for all the helpful videos:)
Learning Spanish this year, have watched, liked and commented on many of your videos but I am just now going to the beginning!! You are SO cute! Thank you for all you do!
Who's learning this in 2019?
me
How is it going
Me🤚🤚
@@user-zv8rg2jm9b hi
hey, do u know what "ser= to be" means? i mean what does it actually mean? im so confused...
You are saving my life and my grade right now, thank you for doing this!!!
The way you say that makes it sound like your being held hostage and forced to learn Spanish.
are you proficient in 2020?
These are the best Spanish lessons, gracias!
as I say again and again-best teacher for me-easily to understand and to follow !thank you-Ana!!
Please, DO videos about spanish past and future tenses! There is no so good teacher like you!!
Łukasz L1997 for real my Spanish teacher sucks
There are 2 past tenses, pretreite & Imperfect
This content is very useful and i really appreciate you spending time for this. Thank you!
Since I have been learning Russian, and now Spanish I see there are many grammar rules that are actually quite similar. It's very interesting! You are a great teacher by the way, your videos are much appreciated!
Gracias Ana, may the force be with you.
2:31 Star Wars confirmed
Very helpful classes.. you make learning Spanish a little more understanding.. great job
Thank you so much for your outstanding Spanish lessons, you are the best.
Hi Ana you do a phenomenal job posting these videos and teaching us this wonderful language. Muchas gracias! What you are teaching here is not all that hard to understand. You just have spend an hour or 2 a day or however long you want to study for and just memorise. One can learn this in a short amount of time I believe. I love Spanish I wish I learned this language years ago but it's never too late!
Linda Ana. So young in this one. Hace diez anos. Muy bueno. Gracias.

To me she is cuter now in 2020 😃 but she was also cute back then
Ana is a natural at teaching. She keeps it interesting and fun to learn.

Viva Obi Juan
@@dnunez13 LMAO
@B.L.I.T.Z oooooppppssssss 🤣
We need a join button to support her.
Who else-
I agree with you.
I grew up speaking Spanish at home, and this still trips me up.
You have no idea how useful this session was for me.. Muchas gracias for this lesson...
Basically, we can say that "SER" is more like describing somethingand "ESTAR" is to be.
Yeah.. that's kind of the idea.
I just found this channel because it was recommended on a website for learning Spanish. I'm not sure where to begin (I speak intermediate Spanish), so I'm starting from the bottom of the video list and working my way up, I suppose...
I just discovered her a month ago and let me tell you, your brain is going to swell with fluency 🤯😮🫰😁
@@THunny-kg2ph lol! That's the goal! I appreciate the encouragement. :) How've you been watching the videos?
You can also go to the playlist section and the videos are organized by category. Although I am also watching from the bottom to the top. Happy learning to you.
@@walkended5118 That's a great tip, thank you! Happy learning to you too. :)
Mi resolución es aprender inglés. Si quieres podemos ayudarnos. Yo te enseño español. Escríbame
I love your classes and how you teach the information! Great job and please keep it up! Tank you “Butterfly Spanish”
I think I fell in love with this beautiful teacher (she has a great smile) ❤️
Hi, if you guys want to learn some spanish with youtube users I may recommend doing it with colombians, mexicans or costa rican people, they have neutral spanish accent and you will understand them very well :)
That's not true, all of them have notorious accents I think.
El acento neutro no es propio de ningún país compadre, todos hablan con acento y es obvio que no lo notes en ti mismo.
Cuando se habla de forma culta, en una reunión, en los noticieros, dando clases en universidad, por ej. se busca un hablar más neutro y en éstos casos incluso los chilenos tienen acento neutro. Pero en el diario vivir, en ningún país se habla sin acento.
That's not true, all the people of differents countries have a different acent.
el español es lo mismo solo que con acentos diferentes
jajajaja no solo acentuan mas
nose porque veo tus videos si yo se español pero me gusta saber como se enseña en el español
Jjejejejejejejejeje :)
+Butterfly Spanish (:
Dame consejos para aprender ingles
Butterfly Spanish yo estoy aprendiendo ingles dane algun truko o otra cosa q me pue d a servir

Love your lessons Ana!
Thank you so much for your videos. I have learned more from you in the past 30 minutes than I learned from Rosetta Stone in the past 8 weeks.
Jajaja. Me da gusto y saludos y abrazos y que la pases bien, jejeje.
Butterfly Spanish "Me da gusto y saludos y abrazos y que lo pases bien" Extraña manera de expresarse siendo profesora de castellano/español.
flosquia mongis I couldn't find the rareness in what she said.
Purrán Sonk She was using many "y". Its not the best spanish but she was just playing. take it easy Purrán.
I do, it wasn't my intention being annoying about that.
This is the second video I've watched of yours and I really like how clearly you explain things.
Have you considered labeling the "Cómo estás?" Q&A as "feeling/emotion"?
+Courtney Stein Me da mucho gusto que estés contenta con mis videos :) I think I am going to do a lesson about that feeling and emotions with the verb "estar". Muchas gracias y saludos,
I love your teaching, thanks a lot
These are really great spanish lessons. I have learnt more from you than my spanish teacher.
Lo gracioso es que vine a ver como se enseña mi idioma :3
+Kunqui12 Muy bien :)

+Kunqui12 jsjsja yo igual vine haber como enseñan mi idioma
Montse Medina
Jaja :D
Kunqui12 xd me encanta q la gente le interese el español asi como nosotros nos interesamos en el ingled
la verdad esque entretiene ver como tratan de aprender mi idioma
Great teacher- enjoyed it😃
Great to see it written too - was listening to a library audio book - but thank you for the visual - super helpful
I learned that for SER you use the acronym DOCTOR - Description, Occupation, Characteristic, Time/Date,Origin, Relationship. For ESTAR use the acronym PLACE - Position, Location, Action, Condition, Emotion
Yes! That is so helpful.
And, for those like myself (lol) who need additional help remembering the words each letter of the acronyms stand for, one can think about the fact that one usually wants to find 'a doctor with good qualities' (or 'a quality doctor) to help one remember that ser/DOCTOR = qualities... and that one usually wants to visit or own 'a place that is in good condition' to help one remember that estar/PLACE = condition or essence ('the essence of a place').
It's not perfect, but it helps one remember what TYPE of words make up each acronym. Also, remembering that a doctor is an occupation and position and location are types of places can help jump start the memory and help one fill in the words for the rest of the letters.
I like your analogy, I also have a difficult time remembering terms, so using tricks such as these definitely helps
Your mnemonics are so helpful! gracias a usted!!
I'm really struggling with the gender in Spanish
In my native language (Arabic) everything has a gender.
But unfortunately it is different from Spanish, which make it harder 😰
About 75% of gensers of nouns are the same in Spanish and Arabic, but what about the others?
Gracias! Feliz Ano Nuevo!
Thank you so so much for all of your help. You really are a ton of help for me
may be a yahoo group chat for all butterfly spanish channel subscribers. we can all converse in Spanish with videos we learnt from
Jajajajajaj, I speak Spanish and I’m here just to see the American suffer with the verbs “Ser o Estar”... as we suffer with the “Verb To Be”
Jajajaja
jajaja todo es risa hasta que estas aprendiendo alemán... Ahora entiendo mejor a los angloparlantes y su sufrimiento con el español!
SOY
Gracias Anna. I am following all your videos to learn Spanish. It is my Foreign Language class now in my Ph. D. here in the Philippines. God bless you more.
I found this to be very helpful and useful in getting me back to studying spanish on a more regular basis! You explain the concepts very well and I feel I understand it without any confusion. Thank you for this and I'm looking forward to learning with you. Gracias for todo, y hasta luego!
Hi Ana I have a question ?
Bty I like your lessons
Im just curious , I heard you say Jedi ?? The religion ??
I will have to look that up ..
That is very interesting - First I've heard it ..
Me too, I have been looking for it.
I'm Jedi.... jeje q buena clase
I found the best channel for study spanish i like your channel keep going .
You teach so well!!
thanks ana ...why you don't use vosotros sois ?
Because "vosotros sois" is spanish from Spain, and in this video is spanish from mexico
ooook thanks man (y)
ACHRAF ASSIR mira solo los españoles usan las palabras así , ejemplo : vosotros habéis hecho la tarea , mientras que en Latinoamérica diríamos : ustedes han hecho la tarea , espero medio entiendas este comentario :) , vos usa el que queras y más te guste igual se entenderá ,
Retiro lo dicho :'v ni yo que ya hablo español entiendo :'v a los españoles te digo que el español latino es más fácil o español de México como le queras llamar
muchas gracias entiendo lo que quieres decir ... también necesito alguien con quien hablar ..parce español todavía soy un principiante ..y lo que acabo de describir es que traducción de traducción de google
Típico buscas para aprender ingles y te entra la curiosidad de como le enseñarán el español a los americanos (EE.UU) y terminas viendo esto jajajaja
*Estadounidenses. ;)
Una americana antigua enseñando a los americanos modernos.
Pues si la verdad XD
seriously best Spanish teacher on the internet
The classes are great! Thank you!
I'm the only dumb one who's too confused here or it happen to others too in their first Spanish class😢
It's you... lol
How you feel and where you are, always use the verb “estar”
great thanks for your good teaching methodology And Keep it UP . GOD BLESS U
Ana, I absolutely LOVE your videos. I discovered you about a week ago and I'm hooked. As you can see I'm venturing way back into the vault. You make me laugh, I love your sense of humour and your teaching style. Thank you for making all these videos. My spanish has leveled up tremendously this week thanks to you. Notifications are ON, Subscibed to Newsletter and looking forward to more content! Keep up the great work!
I don't know why I watch Ana's videos whether I'm a native spanish speaker :D. well Teacher Ana I know you're from Mexico, but tell me are you from Veracruz?
Porque es encantadora!!!! También tengo la sensación que es jarochita :)
OMG learn spain is so hard 😭
Gracias.genial.👒😁happy Easter.
Very interesting and useful video
Thanks to the tutor
"Vosotros" también existe!!! haha
+seriekekomo So does Vos. But you do not use it, do you?
"Vos" is used as "tú" is some South American countries. In Spain it sounds like old Spanish, something like "thou" in English. She is probably Mexican so she teaches her Spanish; as a teacher I would teach this other forms as well.
+seriekekomo Muchas gracias por compartirlo y explicarnos la manera en que se habla en tu país :) Saludos desde México.
Jhon Adam vosotros is used in like only Spain
What does "soy Jedi" means?
pay attention to her :/
I have searched that too...i think it is Jeddah(religion)
literalmente hablo español , pero quiero aprender ingles y su pizarron me esta ayudando con una traduccion mas exacta :)
hey Ana .your classes are awesome.keep it up.
No se que hago acá si yo hablo español xD
ya somos dos xD
+bit3rpl4y mejor 3
yo ando aca por curiosidad jajaj nunca habia visto una clase de ingles a español.
Johan Agudelo tu idioma natal es el inglés?
Johan Agudelo aa si jajaja ya te entendí, jajaj enseñan más completo el español que acá el inglés.
wow she is a jedi
Never knew there would be a religion of Jedi. She should learn about Catholicism where our Lord Jesus Christ established the Catholic Church 2,000 years ago. You guys should check it out. I strongly recommend it. It's all about salvation of souls. God bless!
Awesome lesson again. Gracias Senora Anna
Simply the best Spanish teacher around
