       Portuguese use two different verbs for the copula "to be", ser and estar.  ser is used for relatively permanent traits like "I am a Portuguese speak", while estar is used for temporary traits like "I am sleepy right now".however "to be dead" uses temporary "estar" and not permanent "ser".  that's because Portuguese speakers are necromancers
