I need help on some SPANISH homework

[Kaya Tetsu]

Right so I need help. I'm working on a project for spanish I have to decorate a poncho and write something on it. So here's what I want it to say.

Front:
I'm a ninja.

Back:
You're Jealous.


So would that be...

Soy Ninya.

Estas Celoso.


I'm unsure of whether to use soy or estar on the front. Any help would be appreciated!

 

[noName]

im pretty sure its soy for the front, cause estoy would be for location, or condition, while soy would be for like if you said soy un profesora. like for nouns er some thing like that, correct me if im wrong.

I do think it is Soy
For example: Soy de los Estados Unidos (I'm of the United States) of Soy de Nueva York (I'm of New York)
But if you REALLLLLLYYYYY want to impress you teacher do something like this:
For an A++++++++

My dad came home he said it would be soy,but hes doesn't know how to say ninja...I read ninya...might be wrong though and I was kind of torn on soy....

Cus its how you feel, where you are always use the verb estar

then everything else is soy...but I wasn't sure in ninja counted as a feeling...Maybe I'll get lucky and run into one of my hispanic friends at walmart later....anyway thanks for your comments...

Wow, we just finished that section last week and I cant even remember

But if I were to guess I would say soy not estoy, but Im not sure.

 

[SGT Razor]

Haha! Yes! My Spanish skills come in handy for the 405th! The verb 'soy' would be used for permanent status, like, "soy gringo," or "soy ciego." 'Estar' would be used to describe things that are temporary as in, "Estoy vivo," or "Estoy nervioso."

And 'ninja' would still be 'ninja.'

Good luck on the project!

Front:
I'm a ninja.

Back:
You're Jealous.

I'm a Ninja - Soy un Ninja
You're Jealous - Eres Celoso

 

[SGT Razor]

It would be 'estas celoso,' because jealousy is a temporary state.

 

[Vexona]

¡Claro que sí!


Soy un Ninja
---
The use of 'Soy' is proper because 'being a ninja' is something intrinsic.


Estàs Celoso
---
It's the old Estar vs. Ser usage rule. Like Friendly said you use conjugations of 'Estar' because an emotion is not a permanent state.

(you may wrack up brownie points if you paint the letter accents on your poncho too)

G'luck!

 

[SGT Razor]

Right, the accent marks. I always fail at those. Good work, Vex. High five!
