"I am a man and she is a woman."

Translation: Eu sou um homem e ela é uma mulher.

[EmilReinho]

what is the difference between "sou" and "é"?

[Paulenrique]

"Sou" is used for "I"( I am = eu sou). "Is" is for he, she, it, you (ele, ela, isso, você é).

[Chris.Cummings]

I'm still confused on the difference between "Eu sou" and "Eu estou"

[antonio_bruschi]

Both "Eu sou" and "Eu estou" means "I am", but 'estou' talks about the PRESENT, while 'sou' about ALL TIME. For example: Eu sou lindo( I am handsome since I was born OR when I became ). Eu estou lindo( I'm handsome IN THE MOMENT.)

[carlos.pavanetti]

"Eu estou": It refers to a state, something occurs at a moment. "I'm tired" -> at the moment, I am tired.

"Eu sou": It refers to a characteristic that is part of you. "I'm a brazilian" - I was born brazilian and this is one of mine characteristics. Or I was recognized with a new citizenship, but nevertheless this is part of me now.

"I'm green": If this is my normal color, so in Portuguese it will be: "Eu sou verde".

"I'm green": If I woke up green or someone dropped green paint on me and I'm telling you, it will be translated "Eu estou verde".

When you are talking about a male, do you write "um", and when your talking about a female would you write"uma"? Sometimes I find it confusing

[OLR92]

I wrote sou um homem e e (with an accent) uma mulher but I was marked wrong. I thought you could drop the e, tu, ele/ela/ noi/ voce/ eles/elas. help

[Paulenrique]

When you compare using pronouns, you should include them =)

[DariusHart]

What is the difference between sao and e?

[antonio_bruschi]

"são" is used with "nós"( we ), and "é" is used with "ele/ela/você"( he/she/it ) and singular nouns. For example, ' nós somos homens'( We are men ) and 'a cama é grande'( The bed is big ).Hope I've helped! :)

[saniac]

Does this really need an article? There's about as many Google hits for "eu sou homem" as "eu sou um homem".

[Paulenrique]

The sentence in english requires article, so in portuguese.

[theapologist]

Does "eu sou homem" translate closer to "I am male" than "I am a man"?

[Paulenrique]

I am male = eu sou masculino. But a native would not say that, but "sou do sexo masculino".

[theapologist]

So is there an English equivalent that would be used for "eu sou homem"?

[Paulenrique]

I took the literal translation for male. Eu sou homem = I'm (a) man.

[moral201]

Whats the difference between homem and homen?

[Paulenrique]

man = homem. There isn't the word homen, but the plural for homem is homeNS.

[willsonsan]

Homen is wrong. The right answer is 'homem'

Where can I learn about accents? I've been getting them right, but with typos because of accents. I don't understand them.

[MartiMistery]

In this sentence "she is a woman" translation of "is" i "è".
Often I saw using the word èsta instead è.
Why is changed here and what is the difference between this 2 words?
