Cultural Tip
In Brazilian Portuguese, *só* is very common in informal speech, while *apenas* or *somente* sound more formal. Choose the word that matches the register of your conversation. Also, avoid using *está* here; the verb *ser* (é) is required because you are defining the person's role, not describing a temporary state.
