Is the same "ESE partido es importante" and "ESTE partido es importante"
Other day, I saw in the translator Google:
ESE partido es importante...............THIS match is important
ESTE partido es importante.............THIS match is important
I think the meaning of "ESE partido..." is "THAT match ...." ; and the meaining of "ESTE partido...." is "THIS match ...."
I´d like someone explain what is the difference.
Thank you very much.

Hi there!
The answer is simple. In spanish, we have differentiation between distances when we are talking. In this case, "ese" indicates that the item that we are talking about is in a medium disstance. "Este", however, indicates that is closer.
We have another "Determinante Demostrativo" (that's how we call them), and its "Aquel", which is the further distance.
At the end: "Este" -> Closer distance "Ese" -> Medium distance "Aquel" -> Far distance.
Sorry my bad english, I am learning, I hope I solved your question,
See you!

When I learnt Spanish, I learnt that "ese" = "that" and "este" = "this". However, it is possible that there is not an exact equivalence and that sometimes "ese" is better translated as "this". Can you copy your entire Spanish sentence and we can have a look?
