"You are a child."

Translation: Ești copil.

[Daniel607932]

What is the difference between este and eşti?

[razvan.marin]

In Romanian verbs change based on who is doing the action

• you (singular) are - tu ești
• he/she is - el/ea este

Going further we have

• I am - eu sunt
• we are - noi suntem
• you (plural) are - voi sunteți
• they are - ei/ele sunt

How come it's "ești copil" and not "ești un copil"?

[Eva754602]

I think you eont need to say the ´un´ or ´o´ but its not wrong the way you wrote it (i think so, im just learning)

[PhilipNikolayev]

The polite form "(Dumneavoastră) sunteți (un) copil" should be accepted, IMO.

[Robursu4u]

Is one of the options, "You eat a child"?

[BrasovDesign]

Actually, it reads: I eat you are child ( Yes, it makes no sense :) )

[Robbie351]

I got the accent right on the ş but still got told off for not paying attention to the accents

Eşti un copil !!

Not needed. We don't use the article when we have a predicative noun (nume predicativ) without an attribute (atribut) that defines a profession, title, position (as in an office), ethnicity, status etc.: El este profesor, El este inginer, El este englez, El este general, El este tânăr, El este copil.
