Como crees.

Question

This means don't be silly right? It's been in my head all day and I need to get it out. Don't be silly. (idiomatically speaking of course)

Context: A guy said it on a show last night, and it seemed to mean "What? Don't be silly, of course not" or something like that. (and not "how do you believe" or something like that)

That's right. Mexicans use it a lot. - chileno, Dec 21, 2011

Answer 1

Right - the literal translation "How you think" or "Whatever you think" is the translation into English, as Kiwi suggeted. As in, "Como sea"

Answer 2

Wouldn't it be a bit like saying 'whatever'? As in well I certainly don't think that's true but whatever, think what you like.

Answer 3

Hey lookie here what I found - Mokay backs you up Jeezle

don't be silly

but I think in that case it'd have to be the interrogative form ¿cómo crees? like - what are you thinking, crazy guy?
