Whenever you want to say "this" in Spanish, you have a choice between three words este vs esta vs esto.
The reason we need three words for "this" is because Spanish has a masculine gender, a feminine gender and a neutral gender.
If you want to refer to a masculine noun, you'll need to use the masculine form of "this". If you want to refer to a feminine noun, you'll need to use the feminine form of this.
But, then, there are situations, such as when you are unsure of what gender a certain noun is or when you are referring to abstract ideas that generally don't carry a gender, where you will need to use the neutral form of "this".
