How do you say are in Spanish?

With the verbs for "to be" in Spanish, namely "ser" and "estar", depend on what you want to imply. Derived from there "they are" will be "Son".

depends on how you are using "are"
The form of are used below in the example would be for the verb "ser" in Spanish you use "ser" which means something that is definitive..which then would be conjugated depending on the subject you are speaking about.
I = Soy .... I am American.. "Soy Americana"
You = Eres... You are American..."Eres Americana(female)/Americano (male)
He or She= Es.. He/She is American.. "Es Americano (male) Americana (female)
We = Somos... We are American... "Somos Americanos"
They = Son.. They are American.."Son Americanos"

The other form of "are" is the verb "estar" which means a state or condition/a describer.. also to be conjugated.

I = estoy... I am learning Spanish.. "Estoy aprendiendo EspaÃ±ol"
You= estas...You are learning Spanish.."Estas apriendiendo EspaÃ±ol"
He/she= esta...He/She is learning Spanish.."Esta aprendiendo EspaÃ±ol"
We= estamos..We are learning Spanish.."Estamos aprendiendo EspaÃ±ol"
They= estan..They are learning Spanish..."Estan aprendiendo EspaÃ±ol"

I hope this helps some,,, I tried to simplify it as much as I could, Conjugating verbs is not a simple task !!

The verb to be is 'ser' -- but it's different for each person. It's the same as saying, I am, you are, he is, they are etc. So you really have to provide a little more information about what you are trying to say.
Gracias.

it all depends on how it is used.

Examples:

in "you are" are would mean eres
in "we are" are means somos
in "they are" are means son

but in most cases are would mean son as in "children are" are means son as well as in "books are" "computers are" or "holidays are" if you have an example of the context in which you are using it, it would be easier. If not, go with "son"

[you] are = eres, estÃ¡s, seas, estÃ©s (in Argentina: sos, estÃ¡s, seas, estÃ©s)
[you all] are = son, estÃ¡n, sean, estÃ©n (in Spain: sois, estais, seais, estÃ©is)

[you in a formal way] are = es, estÃ¡, sea, estÃ©

[we] are = somos, estamos, seamos, estemos

[they] are = son, estÃ¡n, sean, estÃ©n
