Esta, esto, este means this in Spanish. As you know Spanish connects genderto nouns and the adjectives that discribe the noun must be in agreement in gender with the noun. Este libro (this book- masculine) Esta cancion (this song - feminine)¿Que es esto?(what is this?-undetermined gender)Ese, eso, ese mean that in Spanish and follow the same rule

Here is a grid our Spanish instructor drew for us that helped me a lot.
Code:
Position of object | El | La | Los | Las | Unknown | _________________________________________________________________________ Near you | Este | Esta | Estos | Estas | Esto | Near person spoken to | Ese | Esa | Esos | Esas | Eso | Not near either | Aquel | Aquella | Aquellos | Aquellas | Aquello |
