/clever/ has two meanings in English, which in Italian are with
different words:
a) bravo (positive meaning)
b) furbo (negative meaning)
Penso che tu sia {bravo, furbo} (depending upon the context)
Note that /pensare/ usually needs the conjunctive mode, but also indicative mode
could do the job:
Penso che tu sei {bravo, furbo}
Or, completely changing the form, but not the meaning:
Ti reputo {bravo, furbo}

"I think that" in italian is "io penso che"
"I know that" is "io so che"
that in this case is translated as "che"
