Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- English (US)
- Romanian
same difference as "it is" and "it's" basically
it's just a shorter version but it means the same thing
similarly to "it is" and "it's"
in most situations natives would rather say "e"
I'd also like to mention that in Romanian the pronouns are often dropped
or only used for emphasis
(please let me know if you have any other questions
I live teaching)

There is no big diffrence between this two.
"e" is used when you talk more informal (=it's)
ex: El e afara.
"este" is more used when you talk to an elder or when you need to be formal(=it is)
ex: El este afara.
But it doesn't really matter how you used it because they mean the same thing.

Everyone else said that it's the same thing. I'd like to add that "îi" also means the same thing, but it's way more informal.
eu sunt = eu îs = i-os
tu ești
el/ea este = el/ea e = el/ea îi
noi suntem = noi sântem
voi sunteți = voi sânteți
ei/ele sunt = ei/ele sânt = ei/ele îs
Beware though, except "e", the other alternative forms are informal, and often considered incorect. Still, people use them, so it's useful to know their meaning.
