Answer 2

Hello _kib,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

You wrote,

Por que estas tan feliz?

You would write this sentence correctly like this:

¿Por qué estás tan feliz?

Why are you so happy?

This is talking about being happy at a particular point in time and uses the verb estar = to be (emotions/feelings) !

When you are talking about a person's characteristics ie: their nature, you would use the verb ser (Characteristics) instead

ex: Eres feliz = You are happy (a happy/cheerful person)

I hope this helps

Lo siento mucho _kib, no me di cuenta de que eres nativo, porque normalmente los principiantes son las únicas personas que omitan usar los acentos en el foro..

Creo que _kib habla español y aprenda inglés. :) - deedeegill72, Jun 11, 2014

Okay lol I didn't check his profile first I guessed I expected native speakers to use accents - FELIZ77, Jun 11, 2014
