Unhappy Aren't you interested?
I can't figure out how to say "Aren't you (formal) interested in the news?"

No estás interesa en las noticias....?

Does anyone know what is the correct way to say this?

Thank you!

Can i say "Las noticias no es interesante para usted"? - as a statement - the news are not interesting to you.

Se te escapó esa "n"...

Yes, these are right when you want to use the formal pronoun.

The verb and the adjective have to agree with the subject: "Las noticias no son interesantes para usted"

Right. Just watch the number and gender agreement.

Me encanta.. Llegaré a Colombia con palabra nueva y empezaré a usarla.

Nosotros decimos "siempre estoy apurado" o "él es muy acelerado" o "siempre está acelerado".

Claro, en Chile también, pero más bien "estoy apurao o acelerao" sabí lo que te digo no?
