Translation

mad, crazy, insane

Examples

.

That plan is completely mad.

, .

He looked at me as if I were mad.

.

The mad noise went on all night.

.

Only a mad person would drive that fast.

.

After the war he went mad.

runs from clinical insanity to the loose everyday sense of a daft idea, but it sits harder than English "crazy" does, so use it about people with some care. The family is regular and worth having: o is a madman, o is madness, i is to drive somebody mad and i is to go mad yourself. For something merely odd, is the word you want; is a judgement, not an observation.
