'Estar' translates to 'to be', just as the Spanish verb 'ser' does. Estar and ser, though, are used under certain circumstances and cannot be used randomly. Estar is used with conditions of people, animals, and things; while ser is used with basic characteristics of people, animals, or things.
You can use the acronym J-O-B to help you remember the specific uses of ser, and you can use the acronym H-E-L-P to remember the specific uses of estar.
