Hola a todos!!! Just trying to work out the difference between these. The translator said>>>>claro que si= clearly that if.

creo que si= I believe that if

espera que si= I expect that if

Now if these are the tranlations, how do you say " I hope so", "I think so" y "I expect so", or do these six different sentences means the same as the first three or have I read all these incorrect??????

claro que sí=Of course. (Ya lo creo) (Por supuesto) (Por cierto) etc.

Creo que sí.=figuratively...I think so.

Espero que sí=I hope so. (keeping it in the same person as the other two.) (Espero que sea así)

All of those sí 's mean yes, not if (si).

Creo que sí= I think yes (literal)
