How to use it
While 'مجنون' (majnūn) is the direct translation for 'crazy' meaning mentally ill, it's also used informally to describe something wild, reckless, or unbelievable, similar to English. Be mindful of context, as it can be offensive if used to describe someone's mental state inappropriately.
