Are you an American citizen? = ¿(Tú) eres un ciudadano estadounidense? Yes, I am American. = Sí, (yo) soy estadounidense. Are you Puerto Rican? = ¿(Tú) eres puertorriqueño? No, I am not Puerto Rican. = No, (yo) no soy puertorriqueño. ¿(Tú) Eres su hijo? = "Are you his son?" ¿(Tú) Eres chino? = "Are you Chinese?" GRAMMAR Verb conjugation allows the omission of personal pronouns. Most of the time, they are avoided, unless, it is ambiguous or they are used for emphasis. "Citizen" is a countable noun, therefore, you need "an" = "un" (masculine article). In Spanish, we don't change word order when asking a YES/NO question, so the answer and the question have the same pattern: Q: "You are American?" A: "Yes, I am American" (literal) Jobs, professions and occupations don't require articles, unless further information is added.¿(Tú) Eres doctor? = "¿Are you a doctor? ¿Quién es él? "Él es un doctor FAMOSO" = "Who is he?" "He is a FAMOUS doctor" Other synonyms of "American" = norteamericano In Spanish, "Americano" is the term used for someone who is from The Americas (continent), not just from the USA. It is like "European" for a person from Europe, "African" for Africa "Asian" for Asia.
