How do you say "They were happy."

Question

How do you say "They were happy."

Answer 1

I would say, "Estaban felices."

You would use "Ellos estaban felices" if the people who were happy were all male or a mix of males and females.

You would use "Ellas estaban felices" if the people who were happy were all female.

You could use "contentos/contentas" in place of "felices" if you wanted to say more of "they were satisfied" instead of "they were happy".

I hope I helped

If it was already clear to whom the ''they'' (Males/females) referred to you could probbaly omit the personal pronoun and just say estaban felices - FELIZ77, Jul 23, 2011
