]]> <![CDATA[By: ]]> No me cuadro. Sospecho algo. Hay gato encerrado. Mi amigo esta raro con me.

It does not seem right to me. I suspect something. Something smells fishy to me.. My friend is acting strange with me.

En me caso, puedo leer bien me amigo.

In my case I can read pretty well my friend.

gracias amigos,  y adiós a JP y Esti ... ¡los echaré de menos! (de verdad debido a JP aprecio la gramática)

Even though creer and pensar are often both translated as "think" in English and there is some overlap in their use, here's how I distinguish them:

Pensar is used when you are talking about cogitation, wheels turning in the head kind of thinking:  Piénsalo bien. [Think about it carefully]

Creer is used to mean "it seems to me" as in the dialogue:  No crees que Pepito está raro? [Doesn't it seem to you that Pepito is acting odd?]

Creer is also used, of course, to express belief, to accept the truth of a proposition:  Lo creo [I believe it/him]

I think this was a Pa' que sepas question a while back -- maybe someone else can remember the exact lesson.  Anyway, I hope this helps a little:-)

You know that expression "gato encerrado" has really amused me 'coz here in Russia we have another one with the same meaning - a dog which is buried.. Yours seems more humane :)
