What is the English meaning of 'ser'?

  1. To serve

  2. To see

  3. To sigh

  4. To be

The correct answer is: To be

The English meaning of 'ser' is to be. While 'to serve' and 'to see' are also verbs, they do not accurately translate the Spanish verb 'ser'. 'To sigh' is not a verb at all, and therefore not a potential translation for 'ser'. So out of all the options, 'to be' is the only accurate English meaning for 'ser'.
