Just as I was going to ask my friend's little girl who was eating an orange "is it good?",her mom asks her. I was going to say "es bueno" and my friend said "¿está es bueno?" Explain the use of está here, please. I couldn't ask her because it was during service.

It's very likely that she didn't say, "está," rather, she said, "esta." Esta is the feminine form of the word "esto," which means, "this." She pronounced it as "esta" because orange, or "naranja" is a feminine word.

"esta es buena" "this is good" - hithere3387, Jan 25, 2010
Well, I wasn't perfectly clear on if she said esta or está. But, for future reference, to ask "is it good?", It is correct to ask "es bueno"?Also, do you have to change bueno/a acording to the noun you are refering to? - Jordan, Jan 25, 2010
