Estar is a temporaty state of being whereas ser is permanent.
Yup Irish would use “Tá” (is, am are) to say “Is hunger on me,” where tá has a similar meaning to estar. I think the proto-indo-european language might have had 2 verbs for “to be” like spanish and irish.
Irish is a passive language? In which something is done to a person, not the person doing the thing?
It often is. You cannot say you have or own a thing. You say that a thing is at you. There are many expressions that are like this. Theres no word for “to like”, they say that a thing is good with them instead. Other celtic languages like welsh have similar constructions.
You are an intellectual but not a scholar.
Neither am i. I just dabble. I learned a little bit about proto-indo-european and I find it interesting to see all the ways that it has evolved in different parts of europe and asia.
