¿Cómo se dice "Yes I am?

Question

As an answer to someone telling me for example, how lucky I am, should my response be Sí, soy yo.?

"Sí, soy yo" = "Yes, it is me". - lazarus1907, Aug 7, 2011

Sí, lo soy -> Simplier and common :D jeje although you could only say "Sì", or "Sí, lo sé" :p - Vicente1, Aug 7, 2011

Answer 1

ie: Eres muy afortunado.

There are various possible responses, ie:

Así es / Así soy / Sí, lo soy.

SonrisaDelSol is right about this:

But, I have a question. Isn't "you are lucky" "tienes suerte"? Would that mean you could respond using "tener"?

Thank you JC. - Yeser007, Aug 7, 2011

Answer 2

You can have luck (be lucky) but you can't "have Portueguesenss

I wish you could vote up comments because that is beautiful.

But yeah I think the most commen way to say yes i am would be along the lines of

Sí,, lo/la soy

But you cannot "soy suerte" you can only "tener suerte"

in which case it would be

Sí,tengo suerte or Sí, lo tengo

"Sí, la tengo" - lazarus1907, Aug 7, 2011

Thanks smiley:) - Yeser007, Aug 7, 2011

Answer 3

I would say, "Sí, yo soy", but I'm still a beginner

I'm pretty sure you could even say...

"Sí, lo soy"...

"¿Eres Portugués?"

"Sí, lo soy."

But, I have a question. Isn't "you are lucky" "tienes suerte"? Would that mean you could respond to "tienes suerte" using "tener"? (Sí, la tengo)

Hi Sonrisa... You can have luck (be lucky) but you can't "have Portueguesenss"! - Jeremias, Aug 7, 2011

Oh, I know!! I meant use "tener" for responding to "you are lucky". - SonrisaDelSol, Aug 7, 2011

Always "lo" with "ser"; never "la". - lazarus1907, Aug 7, 2011

Thanks! "La" is okay with tener, though, correct? - SonrisaDelSol, Aug 7, 2011

Thanks Sonrisa, I like the tener angle - Yeser007, Aug 7, 2011
