Spanish with Paty

📚 Mini Spanish Tip: “ser listo” vs “estar listo”

In Spanish, changing the verb changes the meaning of the adjective! Here’s an example:

Ser listo means to be smart or intelligent.

Estar listo means to be ready

✔️ “María es lista” → María is smart
✔️ “María está lista” → María is ready

Same adjective (listo), but two different meanings depending on the verb!
