French question?

Question

You know how people say in English "___ drives me crazy!" Is there parallel in French? Like, obviously I don't want the literal translation if that doesn't mean something and will just confuse people.

Answer 1

..... me rend fou (formal), ..... me rend dingue (informal)

Answer 2

I don't know of any translation with the same meaning. However, french and english are quite alike, and often, idiomatic expressions such as that one are valid in both languages. In french, '___ drives me crazy!' would probably translate to '____ me fait fou!' (the literal translation of which is '___ makes me crazy!'; the verb faire, to make or to do, is used for many things in french).

Answer 3

The most correct translation from "It drives me crazy!" would be in french "çà (this is the translation for "It") me rend fou (for a male)/ folle (for a female)"

Answer 4

Yeah;tu me rends fou=)

Answer 5

"me fait fou" is not correct. "faire" IS to make or do, but it is not used in that sense.

the correct usage is "___ me rend fou." it's the verb "rendre," kind of like "render" in english.

there's a song by ophelie winter called "il va me rendre folle" which means "he will drive me crazy."

Answer 6

if you're are bored by something or someone you may say : [ça] me rend fou/folle. or "[ça] me rend dingue".

but if you're in love with someone, say instead :
"je suis dingue (de lui/d'elle)" or "je suis fou/folle (de lui/d'elle)".
(don't be mistaken; a litteral translation of "je suis folle de lui" would be "I'm mad at him", which doesn't carry the same meaning).

Answer 7
