Introduction
This post deals with describing people -yourself.
Imagine you are talking on the phone to someone you have never met. The other person wants you to tell him/ her something about you and says: "what are you like?".
¿Cómo eres?
Alternatively, he/ she could choose to be more formal and say:
¿Cómo es (usted)?
OUR TIP
Answering that question should be quite straight forward. You should NOT need to consider more formal or less formal replies. Just say something about yourself.
Perhaps you want to mention:
- Your name*.
- Your age*.
- Your marital status*.
- Your profession/ occupation*.
- Your nationality*.
- Description of your appearance*.
- Description of your character*.
Here are some examples of how you could describe yourself in those circumstances:
- Me llamo xxx (my name is xxx -your own name)
- Estoy soltero (I am single -if you are a male)
- Estoy soltera (I am single -if you are a female)
- Tengo xx años (I am xx years old).
- Soy maestro (I am a teacher -if you are a male)
- Soy maestra (I am a teacher -if you are a female)
- No tengo hijos (I don't have any children- either male or female speaking)
- Soy alto y delgado (I am tall and thin -if you are a male)
- Soy alta y delgada (I am tall and thin -if you are a female)
- Tengo el pelo largo y los ojos azules (I have curly hair and blue eyes)
