hi, im a new member and i’ve been learning latin through rosetta stone, and then some1 at yahoo answer gave me this link… very nice.
im a beginner with latina lingua, and i just wanna know the meaning of est.
thanks. 
Hello friend!
I am also just starting latin after doing a fair bit of greek for a time… the word ‘est’ for an english speaker is basically translted as: “he/she/it is”
Italia in Europa est.
Italy in Europe (it) is. = ie. Italy is in Europe.
Hope that has helped…

I knew that the Rosetta Stone method had some caveats!
