In English- "you are" or "you're". "Your are" makes no sense. "Your friends are" could, but not "your are". - bosquederoble, Sep 23, 2014

'your' is possesive, like 'mine', 'his', 'our' etc. - Suzanne_Romijnders, Dec 2, 2014

Answer 1

But it´s "eres una peluquera" and not "estás". Remember, for occupations we always use "ser". Also, another tip: to be + noun always with "ser".

When saying what someone's occupation is, you can also leave out the article, right? - Suzanne_Romijnders, Dec 2, 2014

Answer 2

When saying what someone's occupation is, you can also leave out the article, right?

Yes, the article is not necessary in this case and its use actually sounds strange.

Hairstylist .... estilista

Barber ..... peluquero

a poco

en serio

de verdad

Answer 4

'No me digas' is correct You can also say no me vayas a decir, but it's a bit longer and thus less used. ^^ Depending on the context, this could also be fun to use: Déjame adivinar, ... (Let me guess, ...)
