Ok, so what does that have to do with esta and ésta? Well, a few years ago la RAE decided that it was no longer necessary to differentiate between esta and ésta. This was not the result of some linguistic temper tantrum. In fact, la RAE had a good motive for sending ésta to the chopping block: the accent is simply not necessary.

2012年3月21日 · Second, accents are used to differentiate between words that are spelled the same. "Êsta" and "esta" are spelled the same, and they sound the same, so the accent is there to inform a reader which word they're reading. They both mean "this," but "ésta" is a pronoun, whereas "esta" is a demonstrative adjective.

2012年2月17日 · You know, the rule states that "if the stress is in the last syllable and it ends in vowel, n or s, you must write the accent". Besides, está and esté are forms of the verb estar, whereas esta and este are demonstratives or pronouns. Some examples: Esta mesa está aquí. Es mejor que este jarrón esté aquí.

2010年8月31日 · None of those words have anything to do with the verb "estar". The form of this verb is "está", with the accent on the last syllable: esta - "this" before feminine nouns: esta casa, esta mujer,... ésta - "this" used as a pronoun to refer to a feminine noun: Mira ésta. Compra ésta. está - He/she/it is

2010年6月22日 · In the context you provided I say absolutely that you should have an accent on the letter "a" in the word está. I say this because the phrase Usted está invitado a . . . = You are invited to . . .

2010年1月17日 · Welcome to the forum. I will try to answer your question, but I fear you have left off some tildes, otherwise known as accent marks. This will make a big difference in my answers. For instance, esta is the feminine form meaning "this". But está is a form of the verb estar in 3rd person singular, meaning he/she/it is.

2012年6月4日 · When is it necessary to use an accent mark for este or esta, meaning "this"? I have seen them spelled with the accent mark over the first syllable (éste, ésta) on occasion, but it seems a bit random. Is it simply a matter of style and choice, or are there situations where it is necessary to use them? Thank you!

2010年10月8日 · as an adjective accompanying a noun, then you don't put a graphic accent. If it is on its own, working as a pronoun, then you need a graphic accent. eg: "esta casa es mía" "ésta es mía" Well that used to be the theory anyway. Nowadays those pronouns don't require an accent unless there's ambiguity about its meaning, which is very rarely.

2022年1月3日 · Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but estan without an accent doesn't exist. Esa and esta exist as well as está, but not estan. And if someone writes it, they're almost surely really saying están but not including the accent mark, which is …

2014年12月19日 · In your example, "estás" is a two-syllable word, it ends in a "s", and the stress is on the last syllable. All words like this have an accent mark. "das" is a monosyllabic word, and one-syllable words in Spanish almost never have an accent mark (only when we need to distinguish between certain words that are spelled identically).
