Hi Guys
I just bought your ebook and its much more than I expected, it was not only helpful for Ser V Estar but is helping me with explanations of the Preterit and the Imperfect too.
Good work!
fantastic news, David. Thank you!
Bananas 🍌 and Shakespeare! Very memorable. Got the Ser & Estar book 📕 Thank you 🙏
¡Genial! Gracias de nuevo :) Cx
Feliz navidad a Cynthia y a todos de la familia. Saludos desde Irak.
¡Feliz navidad! :)
cómo haceslo con tu pelo Gordon, es increíble... estoy celoso ;) gracias por la formacción, son super bien y me ayudan muchas
Gracias, Andy. Cynthia me corta el pelo ahora. Es un crack, la verdad:)
Great lesson many thanks. I'm going to create a time line graph of the 'vida y muerte de un platano' at 2 day stages along the time line with the examples of estar given by Cynthia, marked on the graph and headed with ser to describe the conceptual permanency of the banana, being the yellow fruit / herb we intuitively think of. I always think pictures and diagrams are an easy way of learning stuff. Saludos
Si eso te ayuda, adelante jeje :) Puede ser el título de una novela: "Vida y muerte de un plátano", por Dano :P
1 de 8 opciones es 7.5% - It's a good job you teach Spanish and not Maths, Gordon!
jajajaja
😂
thank you for this, really interesting and helpful. With the sky example if it was a winters day, and the sky was grey wouldn't that be entirely expected, so we'd use 'es'? Equally if the sky was dark because it was night time, we would describe that using 'es' too?
You could say that el cielo es negro por la noche y es azul durante el día
However, for gray... I think that I'd use 'estar' even in winter, but, you 'could' use 'ser' if you think that that's the natural state. Cx :)
@@LightSpeedSpanishChannel thank you
For me being a latino who grew up in the united states english is my first language luckily my mom made sure i grew up pretty fluent in spanish. Non the less i still struggle with certain words and how to structure my sentences. Id say my spanish is 90% lol
Lo siento Ross pero es 12.5%. Great job Gordon and Cynthia!!!
Better than any tv show
jajaja muchas gracias
Using something as a banana is genius and makes so much sense and you guys are so funny 🙌🏻
¡Muchas gracias! :)
I see adjectives with ser a lot eg the famous song ‘Si no te hubieras ido, sería tan feliz’?
Me encantan los ‘sidebars’. No sé la palabra en español.
Tapas ?
Do I detect a hint of geordie accent in Cynthias English
do indeed. 12 years in the NE of England. jaja
60s song "Mellow Yellow" by Donavan. The hippies were all trying to get high on banana peels when that song came out. We tried it back then...didn't work for us! LOL
jajaja. I liked that song!
I think it's better to say ser is for identity and estar is for conditions rather than ser is permanent and estar is temporary because there are many exceptions to that. For example, "He is dead" uses estar even though being dead is a permanent state. But the use of estar here makes sense when you consider that being dead (and alive) is a condition.
Also, on Halloween when kids dress up others will ask them "quién ERES?" even though by any measure it's temporary, they're only dressing up for one night in a year. And yet we use "ser" for "permanent" states. The reason ser is used is because it's an identity, the child is literally taking on an identity, even if only for 1 night.
Depending on the level of the student we go into more or less detail. We have a book on Ser and Estar, so imagine the detail we go into there. :)
This was my thought too, as I just recently learned to my surprise estar is used for to be dead. But it seems to me the translation of "to be or not to be" actually should be "ser or no estar." The "to be" clause pertains not just to being alive, but to existence itself, the essence of being human, "soy humano," while the "not to be" refers to being dead, i.e., by suicide (most scholars agree anyway).
Yay -- fun with words!
@@CassTyson But being alive, which is the essence of existence is still “estar vivo”. It’s a condition because being alive isn’t what makes you human, it’s not your identity, neither is being dead. Whereas being human is a fundamental part of your identity, it’s literally the creature you are and so “ser” has to be used here. And even with being dead there are cases where you can use ser where it denotes identity instead of condition, such as I don’t know, the LotR movie where Aragorn encounters that ghost army, in that case you’d say “son muertos” and not “están muertos” because in this scenario them being dead/ghosts is a fundamental part of their identity and not just an accompanying condition.

C-ondition

>>>>>>>> P-L-A-C-E > ESTAR
I understood the concepts here but once the banana is eaten, it's state can no longer change so do you use ser to say this?
What would be the sentence once the banana is eaten?
The banana was green when I ate it = El plátano estaba verde cuando me lo comí.
Thanks!
Hi guys
I am just starting on my journey of learning Spanish. I am so confused with Ser and Estar, as these words are not even used in example sentences. can someone help please? thank you
Sure, you can look for our videos on Ser and Estar. We also have a book on it called: Ser and Estar made simple, on Amazon :) Cx
Platano es amarillo
Correcto:)
I'm having a dejavu. I feel like I've watched this very video.
We've done a few!! jajaja
Podéis confirmarme algo ?
Esta mañana fui un paseo por la costa. Yo vi dos chicas y una me preguntó, "se puede ir por ahi " y yo dije, sí es bien por aqui.
Creo que deberia haber dicho, es bueno por...
Creo que esta bien por..
Tambien no es correcto
Puede usar ser con bien ?
Creo que no ??
Yo diría: sí, por ahí sí se puede./ Sí, se puede.
Es + bueno/a (s)
Estar + bien (o 'bueno' en algunos casos)
