so if you ask me how are you....i would answer with ESTOY ...but if you ask what are you like...i answer with SOY????

@meganbelland

here's a generalization for you: ;-)

estoy = I am [feeling; located; [doing something]]

soy = I am [+ description of me as a person / occupation ]

My spanish teacher have told me, that you dont say - Yo soy, but soy. That you only say yo soy when you have to truly say some big or importent thing about yourself. :)

@Dennis5528

your teacher sounds like a smart person.

I Wrote ¿cómo eres? into the google translater and it said ''How are you?'' and not (what are you like?)

@bowownerful

The moral of the story, you can't always trust online translators.

@MrzRocRoyal12

Instead of questioning why something goes in a certain place in a sentence, just notice it does and take a mental note of it because languages are different.

if I am a female and I am serious: entonces yo soy seria (?)
