How do you say the following in Spanish?
"I will win..."
"You are jealous..."
and "It's not funny, I am serious"
Thank you! :)
ALSO, when is SU used and when is TU used because I thought Su was used when saying his/her/your..is it only when talking about possessions or what?
Thank you!

I will win: Yo ganaré
You are jealous: Estás celoso (a)
It's not funny, I am serious: No es gracioso, esto es en serio.
Usage of Su:
1) when you treat a person as "usted", e.g: Señor, su avión está atrasado.
2) when you refer to He, She, It, e.g.: Ella aprobó el examen, pero su hermano reprobó. El debe estudiar, no puede descansar sólo en su talento.
Usage of Tu:
1) As apronoun; yo, TU, el, ella, etc
2) when you treat a person as "tu", e.g.: tu carro es rojo, el mio es verde; tu interés en la música crecerá aún más

I will win = Yo ganare' or Yo voy a ganar
You are jealous = Tu eres celoso/a if you are saying that the person is a jealous person, but if you are telling them that they are acting jealous at the moment as if they envy or want something they don't have, then you should say "eres envidioso." The reason why say this is because in English for example if you have a nice car and someone is "hating" you can tell them "you are jealous" but in Spanish saying "eres celoso" would sound stupit, because "celoso" in Spanish is used only when you are jealous because of a person (boyfriend, wife, mother)
"it's not funny, I'm serious" = Esto no es gracioso, estoy hablando en serio.

I will win...Yo ganare/Ganare
You are jealous...Estas celoso/a
It´s not funny, I´m serious...No es gracioso, soy serio (this is the exact translation but because of It´s an expression you should say something like: No es gracioso, estoy hablando en serio/No es gracioso lo digo en serio)
"Su" is possessive for example:"your/her/his ", your dog, su perro, but also could be "tu perro"
Is a little complicated we can say "su perro" as a way to say their dog, or if the owner is a person that I don`t know or an old person to be polite you say "su perro",and if is a friend, a child or a person who you don´t need to be polite yo can say "tu perro"
We call it "hablar de usted" (you talk politely or with respect to the person) o "hablar de tu" (you talk to the person as a friend)
