I'm vegan
Use this if you are female. In Spanish, adjectives must match the gender of the person.
A more descriptive phrase, meaning 'I don't eat animal products.' Useful if someone doesn't understand 'vegano'.
This means 'I follow a vegan diet.' It's a slightly more formal or detailed way to explain your eating habits.
I'm vegan. Does this dish have cheese?
Hello, I'm vegan (female). Do you have options without meat or milk?
I don't eat animal products, please.
My friend follows a vegan diet.
The term 'vegano/a' is universally understood across Latin America and Spain. There are no significant regional differences for this phrase.
'Soy vegano/a' is the standard and most common way to express this.
'Soy vegano/a' is perfectly normal and widely used.
The phrase 'Soy vegano/a' is also standard in Spain. The pronunciation of the 'v' might sound softer, almost like a 'b', but the vocabulary is the same.
Using 'estoy' instead of 'ser'. For example, saying 'Estoy vegano'. — Being vegan is considered a core part of your identity or a long-term characteristic, not a temporary state. Therefore, you must use the verb 'ser' (Soy vegano/a), not 'estar'.
Not matching the gender. A female speaker saying 'Soy vegano' or a male speaker saying 'Soy vegana'. — In Spanish, adjectives must agree in gender with the noun they describe. If you are female, you must use the feminine form 'vegana'. If you are male, use the masculine form 'vegano'.
Pronouncing 'vegano' with an English accent, like 'VEE-gun'. — The Spanish vowels have pure, short sounds. 'Ve' sounds like 'veh' (as in 'very') and 'ga' sounds like 'gah'. The pronunciation is 'veh-GAH-noh'.
