"Estar" means "to be", but it can also mean "to stay". It depends on the context. With the meaning "to be" it can often be confused with "ser" by non native speakers. While it's often said that "estar" implies more stability than "ser", it's not always true. With adjectives, a rule that works (but that can be used only in special cases) is the following: when the adjective is the past participle of a verb, you must always use "estar", not to confuse it with the passive form. For instance, if you said: "soy cansado", it would be the passive present tense of the verb "cansar", so if you want to say "I'm tired", you should say in Spanish: "estoy cansado".
About the uses of "ser" and "estar" there are slight differences between European Spanish and American Spanish.
