Translating the GP example literally in French: Je suis en bonne santé vs. J'ai une bonne santé.
Funnily enough, Google Translate gives the former for both portuguese versions. I guess it is still translating through English.
I thought French mostly just had être (and occasionally avoir) for “to be”, and you’d need context to determine if “Elle est heureuse” means she is happy now or generally.
