Is it safe around here, do you think?

Question

¿Crees que está seguro por aquí? Do you think this sounds right? Gracias

Answer 1

I'd say "es"...

"¿crees que sea seguro por aquí?"

Answer 2

Wow, I'm probably going to get corrected, but I would have said es seguro. Is it a characteristic of the place, or a temporary condition? Are you asking if the neighborhood is safe, or if it's safe during some sort of weather anomaly? I'll be curious to see what the experts say.

Never mind. I didn't type fast enough. :-) - KevinB, Nov 1, 2010

Answer 3

"ser seguro" - to be safe. "estar seguro" - to be sure/certain.

"Te parece seguro por aquí? " - Do you think it's safe around here? (Does it seem safe to you here?)

Answer 4

This might be wrong but I would say: ¿Es peligroso este lugar? ¿Está peligroso este lugar en la noche?

I think your sentences are correct. Jeezzle generally wants to drill down into the gory details of his take. He's good at that, and it tends to be very educational. - KevinB, Nov 1, 2010
