No creo que sea justo.
Grammar & Usage
How it works
This phrase uses the subjunctive mood in Spanish after expressions of doubt, disbelief, or subjective opinion. 'No creo que' (I don't think that) triggers the subjunctive, hence 'sea' (from 'ser', to be) instead of 'es' (indicative). 'Justo' is an adjective meaning 'fair' or 'just', agreeing in gender and number with the implied subject (e.g., 'eso' - that, or a general situation).
