The correct way to answer this question is simply: Soy de Miami, or Soy de _______ (wherever you are from).

Lesson Summary When someone asks in Spanish ¿De dónde eres? (Where are you from?), the most common replies are: Soy de means ‘I am from …’ This is the most common way to say where you are from in Spanish.

¿De dónde eres? – Where are you from?

What’s your name? = ¿Cómo te llamas?

Eres is the 2nd person informal conjugation of the Spanish verb ser, which mean to be. As @User-12123476001900328213 is correct in that eres would be equivalent to the English you are. The word eres has some connotations that the phrase you are does not. Eres is a conjugation of the word ser.

Tú is informal and Usted is formal. A) Tú can be used before a verb: Tú eres inteligente. (= You are intelligent)

1 Answer. Both “eres” and “tu eres” translate to “you are” in English. The tú is the pronoun (replaces a noun) and is generally not needed in Spanish the way it is in English.

Conjugating the Irregular Spanish Verb Ser (to Be)

Eres is used for more permanent situations and estás is used in more temporary situations. Sjlkh is correct in saying the está and es are used for formal situations and tú and estás are used for informal situations.

“Tu eres” is informal – used with a friend or family, maybe someone younger. “Usted es” is more formal, for meeting new people – it is always the better option when in doubt. They are both singular.

With “Usted” we refer to older people than you, professors, maybe your parents and older familiars, or someone you don’t have that much confidence with. It shows some respect for the person. “Es” and “Eres” are the conjugation of the verb “Ser” (“To be”). We use “Es” with “Usted” and “Eres” with “Tú”.
