Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between 'Créeme' and 'Creer'?

'Creer' is the base verb meaning 'to believe.' 'Créeme' is a specific command that translates to 'Believe me' or 'Trust me,' directed informally at one person.

Why does 'créeme' have an accent if the original verb 'cree' doesn't?

Spanish rules dictate that when you attach a pronoun (like 'me') to an affirmative command, you must add an accent mark if the resulting word has three or more syllables. This is necessary to keep the spoken stress on the original main syllable of the verb.
