Explanation
Estar is nearly regular in shape but stressed on the endings throughout, which produces written accents: estás, está, están. The yo form takes -oy: estoy.
That final stress means the vos form is identical to the tú form: vos estás.
Estar covers states, conditions, locations, and the progressive (estoy trabajando); identity and definition belong to ser.
