"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".

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
