What is estan with accent?

Están is a form of the verb estar in Spanish, which means "to be" in English. The accent on the "a" distinguishes it from its counterpart, a form of the verb ser.

Están is the third-person plural form of estar, which is used to describe the temporary or current state of something or someone. For example, "ellos están cansados" means "they are tired" and "las manzanas están verdes" means "the apples are green."

Están can also be used to indicate location or position, such as "el libro está encima de la mesa" meaning "the book is on the table."

It is important to note that estar is often used in conjunction with adjectives and participles to describe characteristics and conditions, while ser is used for permanent and essential qualities.
