Etymology edit
Inherited from Old Spanish seer, from two sources by suppletion:
- Latin sedēre (“to sit, to reside”), from Proto-Italic *sedēō, from Proto-Indo-European *sed-. The infinitive, gerund, imperative, past participle, and present subjunctive come from this verb.
- Latin sum, from Proto-Italic *ezom, from Proto-Indo-European *h₁ésti. The forms that derived from here are the present tenses, the imperfect, the imperfect and future subjunctives, and the preterite tenses (although the preterite tense, future participle, and imperfect subjunctive come from a different root, Proto-Indo-European *bʰuH-).
Pronunciation edit
Verb edit
ser (first-person singular present soy, first-person singular preterite fui, past participle sido)
- to be (essentially or identified as)
- Yo soy de los Estados Unidos. ― I am from the United States.
- Errar es humano. ― To err is human.

- to be (in the passive voice sense)

However, when stating the location of an object (but not an event), estar is used whether the location is permanent or not:
- Madrid está en el centro de España. ― Madrid is in central Spain.
