How do you use the word "listo?"

Question

If I want to say "listo" (as in, "ready&quot to a girl, do I say "listo" or "lista"?

Answer 1

Ser listo(a) and estar listo(a) I believe have two different meanings. Using ser, it means to be clever or smart, and using estar it means to be ready.

So:

Soy listo (a) = I am clever

Estoy listo (a) = I am ready
