"Ser" or "estar"?
You can use "ser": ► when defining or identifying by linking two nouns or noun phrases:
Paris is the capital of France París es la capital de Francia
He was the most hated man in the village Era el hombre más odiado del pueblo ► to describe essential or inherent characteristics (e.g. colour, material, nationality, race, shape, size {etc}):
His mother is German Su madre es alemana
She was blonde Era rubia ► with most impersonal expressions not involving past participles:
It is important to be on time Es importante llegar a tiempo
Está claro que is an exception:
It is obvious you don't understand Está claro que no lo entiendes ► when telling the time or talking about time or age:
It is ten o'clock Son las diez
It's very late. Let's go home Es muy tarde. Vamos a casa
He lived in the country when he was young Vivió en el campo cuando era joven ► to indicate possession or duty:
It's mine Es mío
This is your responsibility Este asunto es responsabilidad tuya ► with events in the sense of "take place":
The 1992 Olympic Games were in Barcelona Los Juegos Olímpicos de 1992 fueron en Barcelona
"Where is the exam?" - "It's in Room 1" "¿Dónde es el examen?" - "Es en el Aula Número 1" NOTE: Compare this usage with that of estar (see below) to talk about location of places, objects and people.
You can use "estar": ► to talk about location of places, objects and people:
"Where is Zaragoza?" - "It's in Spain" "¿Dónde está Zaragoza?" - "Está en España"
Your glasses are on the bedside table Tus gafas están en la mesilla de noche NOTE: But use ser with events in the sense of "take place" (see above)}. ► to talk about changeable state, condition or mood:
The teacher is ill La profesora está enferma
The coffee's cold El café está frío
How happy I am! ¡Qué contento estoy! NOTE: Feliz, however, which is seen as more permanent than contento, is used mainly with ser. ► to form progressive tenses:
We're having lunch. Is it ok if I call you later? Estamos comiendo. Te llamaré luego, ¿vale?
Both "ser" and "estar" can be used with past participles ► Use ser in {passive} constructions:
This play was written by Lorca Esta obra fue escrita por Lorca
He was shot dead (by a terrorist group) Fue asesinado a tiros (por un grupo terrorista) NOTE: The passive is not used as often in Spanish as it is in English. ► Use estar with past participles to describe the {results} of a previous action or event:
We threw them away because they were broken Los tiramos a la basura porque estaban rotos
He's dead Está muerto ► Compare the use of ser + ((past participle)) which describes {action} and estar + ((past participle)) which describes {result} in the following:
The window was broken by the firemen La ventana fue rota por los bomberos
The window was broken La ventana estaba rota
It was painted around 1925 Fue pintado hacia 1925
The floor is painted a dark colour El suelo está pintado de color oscuro ► Ser and estar are both used in impersonal expressions with past participles. As above, the use of ser implies {action} while the use of estar implies {result}:
It is understood that the work was never finished Es sabido que el trabajo nunca se llegó a terminar
It is a proven fact that vaccinations save many lives Está demostrado que las vacunas salvan muchas vidas
"Ser" and "estar" with adjectives ► Some adjectives can be used with both ser and estar but the meaning changes completely depending on the verb:
He's clever Es listo
Are you ready? ¿Estás listo?
Chemistry is boring La química es aburrida
I'm bored Estoy aburrido ► Other adjectives can also be used with both verbs but the use of ser describes a {characteristic} while the use of estar implies a {change}:
He's very handsome Es muy guapo
You look great in that dress! Estás muy guapa con ese vestido
He's slim Es delgado
You're (looking) very slim ¡Estás muy delgada! For further uses and examples, see main entry* * *[biːˌ] weak form [bi]

20 rational
•• rational, rationale, rationalize, rationalization
•• Rational 1. of reason or reasoning. 2. able to reason; having the faculty of reasoning. 3. sensible; that can be tested by reasoning.
•• Rationale fundamental reason, logical basis (of something) (A.S. Hornby).
•• Rationalize 1. to make logical and consistent. 2. to invent a rational explanation of. 3. to find false reasons for (irrational or unworthy behavior) (Oxford American Dictionary).
•• Слово rationalize имеет значение упорядочить, упорядочение (rationalization of UN procedures). В этом случае все довольно просто. Сложнее, когда это слово употребляется в значении подыскивать (рациональное) объяснение, пытаться оправдать что-либо рационально аргументировать. Дело в том, что чаще всего оно употребляется в этом значении в сугубо отрицательном контексте, а переводчик не всегда это чувствует. Вот характерный пример: In the non-election season, editors have willingly given their pages over to hidden advertising of all sorts, using myriad rationalizations to justify betraying their readers (Robert Coalson). – В год без выборов редакторы охотно предоставляют свои страницы для различных видов скрытой рекламы, прибегая ко всяческим уловкам, чтобы оправдать такое предательство интересов читателей. См. также generalize, generalization.
•• Слово rational часто соответствует русскому рациональный (rational discourse – рациональная/осмысленная речь), а вот в обратном направлении ситуация иная. Русское рациональный становится «ложным другом». Поэтому рациональная технология – efficient technology, рациональное решение – reasonable/appropriate solution (или decision, в зависимости от контекста).
•• Наконец, rationale (произносится ) – слово, которое не надо путать с rational. Оно означает принцип, лежащий в основе чего-то, аргументация, объяснение. В отличие от rationalization, rationale обычно не имеет отрицательного оттенка. Для иллюстрации возможных контекстуальных переводов приведу несколько примеров:
•• 1....the necessity to confront a choice between the geopolitical rationale and American capabilities (Henry Kissinger). – ...выбор между геополитическими целями и возможностями США;
•• 2. There was no political rationale for Britain to become involved (Henry Kissinger). – Для Великобритании не имело политического смысла втягиваться в это дело;
•• 3. Starr... defended [his methods]... But it was difficult to square that rationale with some of the questions [his] agents were asking (Time). – ...но эти утверждения (объяснения, аргументы) плохо увязываются с некоторыми вопросами, которые задавали его агенты;
•• 4. Most Americans understand the challenge Mr. Tung faces... Few, however, will understand the rationale of restricting democracy (Washington Post). – ...немногие, однако, согласятся с тем, что необходимо ограничить демократию.
