The 'You' Form for Friends
Sientes is the form of 'sentir' you use when talking to one person you know well, like a friend or family member (the 'tú' form).
A Shape-Shifting Verb (e → ie)
Notice how the 'e' in the original verb 'sentir' changes to 'ie' to become 'sientes'. This happens for most 'who' forms (I, you, he, she, they) in the present tense.
Feelings vs. Opinions
Mistake: “Me siento que es una buena idea.”
Correction: Creo que es una buena idea. (I think it's a good idea.) Use 'sentir' for emotions or physical feelings, but use 'creer' or 'pensar' to say what you think.
