The very nature of a verb is the act of doing something so Spanish is just like "pfft, we don't need to add an additional word in there. Again, here we've dropped the auxiliary verb "do" since the proper way to say it would have been "do you eat meat?

In these cases the person being spoken about is either known because, let's face it, you're talking about the person or persons, or if it's not, THEN you can include the pronoun to clear up any ambiguity. Here on duolingo they sometimes include the 3rd person pronoun, in which case it's specific what the answer is and if they don't include the pronoun they software accepts all versions of the translation.

Don't freak out when they don't include the pronoun. Remember, these are only sentence fragments most of the time or at best, conversational fragments. If you're in a conversation or reading something, context usually always tells you who the verb is talking about. Holla Hucklebeary, Muchas gratias. That was so resourceful and educative, in fact your exhaustive explanation has changed the perception I was beginning to develop, that Spanish is confusing. Instead, you've made it look simpler and interesting than I thought.

I hope you will continue to support me on this journey, gracias. I'm glad it was of help. I'm always eager to pass on what I've learned so far and I find that since I was not too long ago asking these same questions, it helps to firmly establish what I've learned by teaching it and it allows me to teach it in a clear and thorough manner since I know exactly where the confusion may lay for someone seeing as how I had the same "huh???

There is no other meaning it could be. Thus, unless it is otherwise clear from context, you need to add the usted to clarify. You are confused because there is no context for you to figure out what I mean. Holla Mikey, como estas!

Are these two questions correct. You're gonna get to all that stuff eventually and honestly, don't worry too much about it as it'll all make sense as you build your skills, but let's break it down. That's singular for who. However, the "es" there in your original sentence, while it does mean "is", does not get used here. Es is a conjugation of the verb "ser" as you already know which means "to be" but there is ANOTHER verb in Spanish that also means "to be" and that somewhat troublesome bugger is called Estar. Thus begins your first step into the dreaded realm of "ser" vs "estar" a topic that never ceases to grip new Spanish students with fear and frustration.

Ser means "to be" and estar means "to be" but the basic difference is that one gets used for more intrinsic and permanent states of "being" and the other gets used for temporary or conditional states.

Movies in Theaters

There's a tad more to it but, just to get you started lol. Think about thinks that are intrinsic qualities or characteristics or things that don't easily change or will be that way for a long time. You are a man. I am a brunette. These type of things are either permanent things, intrinsic qualities or are unlikely to change anytime soon. These versions of "to be" all get the verb ser.

Now think about states of "being" that are temporary. Things like I am sick. I am at the train station. We're watching a movie.

You're not always going to be sick, he's not always going to be happy, she's not always cooking, they're not always eating, I'm certainly not always at the train station and that movie has to end sometime and sometime soon lol. These are all temporary states of being and thus, they get the verb estar. Don't worry, you'll get to it eventually and honestly, it's not as difficult or tricky as most people make it out to be. But anyway, let's get back to your example You're asking "who IS cooking meat?

Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to figure out if the "to be" is describing a state of being that requires ser or estar.

quién eres tú para

This is a fairly easy example because the "to be" is followed by a verb in this question. Again, don't freak out, you'll get to estar soon enough. As for the cooking part. Cocino is the 1st person conjugation of cocinar so you literally asked "who is I cook meat? Cocino can only ever mean I cook or do I cook?. The "cocinando" part in my sentence? In English we add -ing to a verb to indicate the moment that an action is taking place, right?

As in, it's happening right now or, if in telling about the past you're talking about the action as it happened he was swimming. In Spanish they have that as well and that's what I've used there. Anyway, that's enough of that. Don't worry about trying to memorize any of that stuff about the participles and gerunds just yet.

I just thought I'd throw it out there since it applies to the sample sentence you asked about. And this is one of the best illustrations for beginners to really drive the point home about the difference between ser and estar.

quién eres tú

You're asking how he is as in how he's doing or feeling. Which is a temporary state of being and therefore gets Estar. Aaaand I just realized how much I actually typed. Sorry if that seems overwhelming but like I've said before, don't get too worked up about it. It's all rather simple if you just take it in bite sized chunks. You'll get to it. But the difference between ser and estar is pretty essential stuff and in my opinion, the earlier you tackle it, the better.

Ser vs Estar spanish. Ser vs Estar studyspanish. Many examples tests and quizes. Ser vs Estar Spanishdict. And btw, those are 3 absolutely must have sites that you need to bookmark. There are hundreds if not thousands of sites out there for helping you on your road to learning Spanish but it's fairly safe to say that these are easily the best and most comprehensive in the amount of material they cover and will pretty much handle all of your needs.

Why would someone use the familiar tu form when they don't know who the person is? She said that tu is used with someone familiar to you. Okay, Thanks very much. As an example, I used "talking to a clerk in a grocery store" In fact, I am over 60 and she was around 30, so maybe she took that into consideration in answering me. Not to worry, I will be in good shape when the conversation turns to elephants eating rice. I thought it said "Es" but I got it wrong and it said it was "eres" and its happened a bunch of other times too like "leen" and "limon" please make it to where you can understand what they're saying please!

That's your ear that needs improving. I'm not saying that to dismiss you or poke fun, it's just true. I had the same problems with many of the TTS phrases on here but now, going back and listening to a lot of them I hear them perfectly well. A lot of it is context. You hear one thing but contextually it doesn't make sense but seeing as how it's ALL knew to you right now you're first striving to hear the sounds and comprehension comes second. I still encounter this with the new things that I learn. Once your ear-brain connection improves by fully assimilating each word and understanding where that word doesn't make sense, you start immediately correcting what your ear first told you it heard.

When we have to see that Spanish word it sounds like a spaceship and since it means who are you its like who are you cuz. Is it not odd usage to use the informal with someone whom you do not know? I'm thinking this might work in a game of Marco, Polo, but where else?

What reason could you possibly have to sk someone who they are using the tu form since that implies you already know them?? When would you really use quien eres? Isnt this the familar you and if you know them would you ask who they are Thank you for asking! It is only used in questions and after a few verbs such as the verb "to know". In most statements, "who" gets translated to "que". I just understood my first joke in spanish! I am so happy!
