This is me!

Question

Should I say "Este/a soy yo" or just "Soy yo" or is this wrong altogether'

Answer 1

are you a man?
or woman?

Eres hombre o mujer?

if you're man you should say = éste soy yo ór soy yo
if you're woman you should say = ésta soy yo or soy yo

Answer 2

Mujer, however there are many males and females that will be using this sentance. (It is for a group of toddlers that are trying to learn Spanish.)
Thank you!

Answer 3

HI jt, in any case, the children should learn:

este soy yo (male)

esta soy yo: (female)

Answer 4

Thanks! I think I sent this message direct to your email when I meant to reply to a question from yesterday. Still getting used to the forum...

Answer 5

No problem at all, JT. Have you also seen on your page that you can send "comments" to different members? Have a look and welcome.

Answer 6

This doesn't apply to your question and I know this will annoy most woman and I personally think it wrong, but normally when you are referring to a collective group of people which contains One male and One thousand females, the masculine form must be used.

Answer 7

Eddy is right, if there are say, two boys and 20 girls in your class, we will have to say.

Estos somos nosotros.
