¿Qué es el differencias de "¿Qué es este?" y "¿Qué es esto?"?

Question: Is there a difference?

¿Qué es esto? Vs. ¿Qué es este?

Answer: Yes, Click Here to Read It

¿Qué es esto? - Is the question, "What is this?"

¿Qué es este? - Is another way of asking the question, "What is this?"

Esto vs. Esta - This

First notice that "esta" does not have an accent mark on the "a". If it had an accent mark on the "á" then the word would be "está - is" from the verb "estar". When the accent mark is not on the "a" the word is "esta - this".

"Esto" and "este" also means, "this".

Notice in the program that when the "noun" ended with an "o" you could either use "esto" or "este".

for ie.

Esto es un martillo. - This is a hammer.

Este es un martillo. - This is a hammer.

When the "noun" ends in an "a", use "esta".

for ie.

Esta es una cocina. - This is a kitchen.

Esta es una cámara. - This is a camera.

Question: Would you ever say, "¿Qué es está?"?

Answer: I would say, "no", but some native speakers would say, "no" and some native speakers would say, "yes". Go around and ask native speakers if it would be wrong to say, "¿Qué es esta?, and send me an email on the results.

What is the difference between "este and esta (no accent mark over the a)

Este hombre = this man

Esta mujer = this woman

However, things have gender too, and this gender is completely arbitrary:

Este lápiz = this pen

Esta mesa = this table

You need to remember the gender of the word to pick the right one.

You only use "esto" to refer to things whose name you don't know, or when there is no name for them, as in "this thing"
