Hóla.
Yo creo entiender comó usar "pasa" y "pase", pero quería estar positivo.
"Pase" means to pass as in "come in" when you hear a knock, maybe when you don't know who is there?
"Pasa" means to pass as in "come in" when face-to-face and are being invited in? Literally "to pass by".
Por favor, corrígeme si tengo eso incorrecto.
Gracías.
¡Pasa! o ¡Pase!

Hola ("Hola" no tiene acento) mandohack. Bienvenido al foro.
Pasa and pase are both command forms of the verb pasar. They mean the same thing, but pasa is used when speaking to someone you know well enough to address as tú, whereas pase is used when you're speaking to someone you'd address as usted.
By the way, your sentence that I quoted above would be better this way:
Creo que entiendo cómo usar "pasa" y "pase," pero quiero/quisiera/querría estar seguro. You could also say "creo entender" (not entiender), but I think I've much more often heard "creo que" plus a conjugated form of the verb that follows.
Espero que te sirva.

Nohablo: Gracias. Funny, I didn't think of it as the verb pasar! Embarassing, I admit.
