"estoy" or "yo estoy" ; "soy" or "yo soy"?

Question

I know that "estoy" is temporary and "soy" is not, but do you include "yo" when you're using them?

Oh, okay, I was just wondering because I noticed this one Spanish speaker on here say "Yo Soy Sandy" - thank you!

Answer 1

It depends.. but if you do use it it can be used like this:

"YO ESTOY" = I AM (IN MY HOUSE)
"YO SOY" = I AM ((TALL)

They Both Use "Yo" wich mean "ME"

Answer 2

The use of personal pronouns in Spanish is optional, because the verbal form that on use it’s exclusive from each person, in most of the cases, there are not possibilities of confusion. If I say “soy” or “estoy”, the pronoun “yo” is implied, if I say “eres” or “estas”, “tu” is implied, etc. A Spanish humorous writer, Enrique Jardiel Poncela, said that the tools most important for a writer are the scissors, that is, on should eliminate the unnecessary words.
If there are some possibilities of confusions then, on should specify the person.
Examples:
(Usted) lo leyó o (el) lo leyó. You read it or he reads it.
If I omit the pronoun, it will be confused.
But sometimes it’s unnecessary to specify the person, the context it specifies.
The use of the possessive pronoun “su” is confused too.
Amo a su hermana (de usted) o amo a su hermana (de él).
The use of the pronoun “usted” it’s the origin of many confusions, however “usted” is very used.
On should eliminate the pronoun “yo” when it’s possible, because on says that its excessive use reflects the egocentrism.
Excuse me my bad English

Answer 3

You can use or not the pronoum yo, for example I am here means yo estoy aqui, could be just estoy aqui, I am a nurse, yo soy una enfermera, could be only soy una enfermera without the pronoum

Answer 4

you can put yo estoy, is not grammatically wrong, but generally, Spanish speakers say estoy or soy without yo

Answer 5

no normally you just say estoy or soy without the yo.

Answer 6

Yo momma so dumb that when she heard it was a serial killer on the loose she went and locked all the cereal up in the cabinet. Yo momma so dumb that when she went to the movies and saw a sign that said under 17 not permitted, she went and got 16 more friends.

Answer 7

not always. if you are talking formally to someone of profession, then I suggest you use "yo estoy" or "yo soy". It also has to do with the content of the sentance. Sometimes you don't need to put it in because what you're saying is easy to understand without it. and sometimes you need to clairify. "Estoy Bien" is an example of how you wouldn't need

With reflexive (sentirse = to feel) you need to add it, especially in the él, ella, usted and ellos, ellas, and ustedes form. You need to clairify who is it. You could be trying to say "She took my homework" and not put the subject (él, ella, usted) in and I could read it as "He took my homework"

I hope this helps

Answer 8

I am taking Spanish and my teacher said that you do not always have to use it (but it depends on how you are using it in the sentence).

Answer 9

it's not necessary, with the different ending of the verbal forms you indicate the person!

by example:
yo COMO, tú COMES, él COME (the 3 are differents)
