Same question as my previous.
Should esta have an accent on the "e" I think it should. The translation I'm looking at doesn't have it.


Last question of the night.
Thanks for all your help and good night to all of you!

sin acento


Explanation:
En tu caso no hay acento pues es un adjetivo.
Las formas masculinas y femeninas de los demostrativos (este, esta, estos, estas) nunca llevan acento. Si son pronombres, su uso es facultativo (tradicionalmente lo llevaban).
La forma neutra "esto" no tiene nunca tilde.

esta


Explanation:
When it is a demonstrative adjective, it takes no "tilde", but it does when it functions as a pronoun.
