Estrés
¡Hola!
I've come across the word "estrés", meaning stress, and I'd like to ask you for a short phrase illustrating its correct usage. Is it "tener estrés" or "ser estrés"? And what would be the proper way of saying "somebody can be stressed" (as a way of asking a native speaker about the usage of the word)? "Alguien puede tener/ser estrés"?
¡Muchas gracias!

Thanks a lot for the replies! 
I suspected that the past participle should be used, but since we haven't covered it in classes yet, it was just a wild guess
Well... in English you don't say "I am stress", right? The most sensible guess would be to think that it is "tener estrés", which is the right option.
You also have "estresado", which is literally "stressed" (notice the final "d" on both), and this requires "estar" and "to be" respectively.

No, it's not. The word "estrés" has an accent on the E.

Correct spelling: ¿Estás estresado'
tener estres it's ok
"somebody can be stressed" alguien puede estar "estresado"
to ask "estas estresado" Are you stressed"
