creemos

Creemos is the first-person plural present indicative form of the Spanish verb creer, meaning “we believe.” It is used to express a belief, opinion, or conviction shared by the speaker and others in the discourse. The verb creer comes from Latin credere, related to words such as creed and credit in some languages.

In terms of conjugation, creer is a regular -er verb in the present tense. The forms in the present indicative are: creo, crees, cree, creemos, creéis, creen. The vosotros form creéis carries a written accent on the é to indicate the stress pattern.

Usage and nuance: creer can be followed by a that-clause with creer que, as in “creemos que llueve” (we think/believe it is raining), or by a prepositional phrase such as creer en, as in “creemos en la libertad” or “creemos en Dios.” The meaning can range from simple belief to a strong conviction or faith, depending on context and tone. Creemos is common in everyday speech, public statements, debates, and religious or social discourse where a group expresses shared beliefs.

Examples: “Creemos que la educación debe ser accesible para todos.” “Creemos en la importancia de la democracia.” “Creemos en ti” can be used to express collective support or faith in someone.
