Which is the correct sentence?
Es gorda (She is fat).
Está gorda (She is fat).

| Gorda - Delgada |
¿Lo has adivinado? Did you guess?
Both sentences are correct, but only the second one is politically correct. By using the verb "estar" we are saying that being "fat" is only a physical state (that may change with diet and exercise) and not a defining characteristic of the lady's physical appearance.
Similarly, we use diminutives to make a negative characteristic sound nice or cute. So we could say:
Está gordita (She is a little fat).
