The correct 'are' for my sentence...

Question

The sentence I am looking to write is - 'i am healthy and these are the reasons why...' I have tried my best to translate it to 'yo estoy sano y estas ... An las razors por qué' if you could help me it would be very much appreciated, thanks

Answer 1

First off, “I am looking to write” is very poor English.

Having said that…the sentences meaning is displayed within the abridgement colloquialism.

“I am looking to write” expresses my intent and desire to either now or (in the future) preform the task of writing whatever.

So, Estar, Pensar or Gustar are just three of many ideas available.

Remember,

languages are about expressing ideas...not words.

“Pienso escribir…I plan to write…”

“Me gustaría escribir…..I would like to write…”.

Estoy empeñado de escribir algo…I am intent on writing something…etc, etc, etc.

Tengo la intención de escribir algo...I have the intention of writing something.

Estoy sano y estas son las razones… Estoy sano a causa de….

Viejito - "I am looking to write" maybe a little odd - but is perfectly understandable and I have heard similar many times. - ian-hill, Aug 21, 2013

me too, ian-hill. It's a colloquialism for'I'm looking forward to writing..." Really used down southThanks - viejito, Aug 21, 2013

It's almost like ...I'm looking forward to...and...I'm gonna" all rolled into one idea. Very common in deep south. We love our words. lol - viejito, Aug 21, 2013

I am looking to is relatively common, and not just in the south. I've heard it in the upper midwest and the northeast as well. But, great answer overall. - rogspax, Aug 22, 2013
