English into Latin

In Latin, a word has a different form depending on how it is used. If you
ask a translator for the Latin word for "believe", you may get "credo".
That means "I believe". Or you may get "credere". That means "to
belive". In this context, it seems to me you mean to say "believe" as a
command. That would be "crede" if you are addressing one person
or "credete" if you are addressing more than one person.

Hope this helps.

Thank you George - thats cleared that up for me! Just out of curiosity, (I've found this really interesting!) what would be the correct pronounciation of crede? Would it be cre-day?

Also, I've read that the term for "believe in yourself" is "pluto in vestri". Could you possibly confirm?

Thanks for your help

I'd pronounce it CRAYday, with the "ay" sound about halfway etween "ay"
and "eh".

So far as I know "pluto" does not mean believe. It is the name of the god
of the underworld (and Mickey Mouse's dog). "In vestri" translates to "in
your".

Once again thanks for that George - it seems easy enough to get individual words translated but their context and meaning is harder to come by - much appreciated.
Cheers
