Questions & Answers about Soy muy curioso, me encanta este misterio.
Why is it soy and not estoy here?
In Spanish, using ser (to be) with curioso describes a personality trait, meaning you are an inquisitive or curious person by nature. If you used estar, it would mean you are curious about something specific in this moment, or that something is peculiar. Since the speaker is stating a fact about their personality, soy is the right choice.
Why is it me encanta instead of 'yo encanto'?
Why do we use este instead of esto for 'this'?
Este is the masculine singular word for 'this' when it goes directly in front of a masculine noun, like misterio. You only use esto when you are referring to a general idea, an unknown object, or a situation where the noun isn't explicitly mentioned. Since the specific noun misterio is used here, we must use este.
