Creer-believe and think

Veo en el diccionario aquí que 'creer' quiere decir to believe y to think. Si estoy traduciendo 'me creerán' debo decir 'They will believe me' o es posible decir 'They will think of me' también? Gracias.

It depends on the rest of the sentence.
Me creerán loco.
They will beleive I'm crazy. / They will think me crazy / They will think I'm crazy
Me creerán.
They will beleive me.

Gracias. Entonces la frase sencilla 'Los estudiantes me creerán' significaría 'The students will believe me' but not 'The students will think of me.' ¿Verdad? - scratch2486, Dec 9, 2011
right! Remember that in creer cannot have the meaning that "think about" has in English, it cannot mean "consider" or "mull over" etc. - rabbitwho, Dec 9, 2011
