locura
noun: madness, insanity
-
La locura, madness, is the noun derived from the adjective loco.
Huyen de la hambruna y
la locura colectiva que asola sus países. They’re fleeing the famine and collective madness devastating their countries. -
Locura is used in a couple of very idiomatic phrases. First, es una locura, it’s crazy, it’s mad:
Huyen de la hambruna y
la locura colectiva que asola sus países. They’re fleeing the famine and collective madness devastating their countries.Es unalocura pero tenía que venir. I know it’s crazy, but I had to come. -
And then in the phrase hacer locuras:
Huyen de la hambruna y
la locura colectiva que asola sus países. They’re fleeing the famine and collective madness devastating their countries.Es unalocura pero tenía que venir. I know it’s crazy, but I had to come.No hagaslocuras . Don’t do anything crazy or stupid.
