Hi! Yes, we say both things almost the same way, but we change the verb since we use different verbs for "to be":
Examples:
"Esto es aburrido" (This is boring)
"Estoy aburrido" (I'm bored)
"Tu amigo es aburrido" (Your friend is boring)
"Tu amigo está aburrido" (Your friend is bored)
I hope it helps ^_^
