Spanish:

Estoy   /  BE

Yo soy Americano – I am American.

Tu eres Americano – You are American.

Tony: Hey Juan, if I say “Yo soy Americano.” Then I don’t really need to say YO, right? Because I used SOY, so that means YO, must be before it. Is that right? I can just say.

“SOY Americano”  ???

Juan: Yeah, because you said SOY, we know it means  “I”

It’s the same with Tu eres Americano.    You can just say. Eres Americano. And we know it means  YOU.
