Usage Note

Creíble functions as a two-ending adjective: una historia creíble, un testigo creíble. It is the direct antonym of increíble, which has become far more common in everyday speech and exclamations. The accent on the í breaks the diphthong — without it the word would be creible, a misspelling learners should avoid.

Examples

"Su versión de los hechos no parece creíble."

Natural Translation

His version of the facts does not seem credible.
