    GRAMMAR

    The Focus of This Bootcamp Lesson Is How to Talk about Ethnicity and Nationality.
    Soy costarricense.
    "I'm Costa Rican."

    In this lesson, we heard the following phrases: ¡Hola! Soy Michelle. Soy costariscense.
    ("Hello. I'm Michelle. I'm Costa Rican.") and ¡Hola! Yo soy Carlos. Soy estadounidense.
    ("Hello. I'm Carlos. I'm American.")

    Expressing Ethnicities

    To express nationality and ethnicity in Spanish, we use the verb ser ("to be"). Remember, ser
    means "to be," and ser is the verb we use when we're describing identity.

    When using ser in a sentence with a subject, we have to conjugate it; that is to say, we use a
    distinct form for every grammatical person and number.

    As an example, the first person singular form of ser is soy.

    For Example:

    1. Soy JP, soy estadounidense.

    In each case, soy corresponds to the English "I am."

    If you want to address someone directly, use the second person singular form of ser, which
    is eres.

    For Example:

    1. ¿Eres mexicano?
    "Are you Mexican?"

    SPANISHPOD101.COM BASIC BOOTCAMP #2 - HELLO, I'M AMERICAN! 4


    To speak about another person, use the third person singular of ser, which is es.

    For Example:

    1. No es mexicano, es guatemalteco.
    "He's not Mexican, he's Guatemalan."

    The plural forms of ser include the first person plural somos...

    For Example:

    1. No somos argentinos.
    "We're not Argentinians."

    the second person plural son...and

    For Example:

    1. ¿No son españoles?


    "You're not Spaniards?"

    the third person plural, which is also son.

    For Example:

    1. Ellos son guatemaltecos también.


    "They are Guatemalan as well."

    In Spain, and only in Spain, they use a distinct second person plural form when talking in a
    familiar context. The corresponding ser form is sois.

    For Example:

    1. Sois cubanos.
    "You all are Cubans."

    Latin American Spanish speakers do not use that special Spanish familiar form; instead,
    they stick with son.

    For Example:

    SPANISHPOD101.COM BASIC BOOTCAMP #2 - HELLO, I'M AMERICAN! 5


    1. Son cubanos.
    "You all are Cubans."

    Good to know!

    In English when we talk about nationalities, we often use a noun; we hear that it's a noun
    because we use an article.

    For Example:

    1. "I am an American; she is a Canadian."

    In Spanish, however, we usually describe nationalities and ethnicities with adjectives, so


    there's no need for an article like "a" or "an."

    For Example:

    1. Soy americano, ella es canadiense.

    Also, please note that in Spanish, we capitalize the names of countries, but we do not
    capitalize the adjectives derived from the names of those countries.

    CULTURAL INSIGHT

    How Popular is the Spanish Language?

    Spanish is the fourth most-spoken language in the world. It's the official language of twenty
    countries and it is the second most-spoken language in the United States. The Spanish-
    speaking population of the United States actually makes it the country with the fourth
    largest Spanish-speaking population in the world.
