¿How do we say "vaya flipado" en inglés?

In fact 'flipar' comes from the English colloquialism 'to flip out', which means 'go crazy' (volverse loco). It's very common to use 'crazy' to mean 'amazing': 'That movie was crazy!' , 'The special effects were crazy!', or even 'I love you like crazy!' Other colloquialisms related to 'loco' include 'nuts (mainly US)', 'insane', 'bonkers', 'mental (UK)', or 'wacky'/wack.

Thanks John! I don't feel quite satisfied with this answer though. :p I'm looking for a word which means to be a " flipado" , or a "motivado" in spanish, more in the sense that they have done something beyond their possibilities and we are kinda embarassed by it... I don't know if I made myself clear... Spanish people SOS! jeje

Hey Judit, how you doing? "To be full of oneself/yourself" might be the one you are looking for. Let me know if you are happy with that. Cheers.

Hey Judit, how you doing? "To be full of oneself/yourself" might be the one you are looking for. So "you are (so) full of yourself" = eres un flipao. Cheers.

I think be really ashamed or shocked, if U say in the sense of motivado I d say : incredibly excited. Thanks John U answer is perfect and U realized U are a excellent professional

You might be looking for 'a showoff' (~=fanfarrón) or 'a daredevil' (~=atrevido), but I don't understand what you mean by 'we're quite embarrassed by it'. A showoff is only slightly negative, it means the person did something impressive but isn't being modest about it. A daredevil specifically does daring (=atrevido, osado) things because they enjoy taking risks and there's no negative connotation.

Thank you John for all your answers! You are a great help! I guess I was looking for a specific word in english but it didn't exist jeje, so all your options are awesome, thanks!!

Thank you Miguel and Pilar too!

Slapstick

Helloi Like crazy. Someone that says crazy things that are a little funny. As in the movie. Crazy actions. Regards.

Hi Judith. The word "flipado" could be translated as excited, crazy, or freaked out. So, to say "vaya flipados!" in English. You can say "those are very crazy", "those have got their screw loose", and "they're freaked out". I hope it can help you :)

Cheers Geffrey! It could help me indeed!

To be over the top I'd say. "They were a bit over the top." I must say, it is not an easy word to literally translate to English. I hope my answer helps.

Hola, Judit. La expresión utilizada por nativos es WHAT A FREAK. Quizás te preguntarás el porqué de la alarma WHAT, sucede que WHAT en Afirmativo se traduce como QUE o LO CUAL.

Cheers Cesar! I'm going to start using this expression!

In the north of england we might say a mad head or a nut job. But those are slang terms and would only be used in the north. Not to be used in exams!

Hi Matthew! I'll start using them in Spain then and hopefully they'll become popular in here :p

Here you need to use different translations for each situation. You must remember that in English adjectives can have negative and positive connotations. For 'vaya flipados!' I would translate the phrase to 'They're crazy! or Crazy lunatics!'. You could also be more literal and say something like, 'That's very unbelievable - they're doing impossible things'. In regards to the film being 'flipada' - I would say 'The film was mindblowing (positive), crazy (neutral), or not very realistic at all (negative).' The choice here depends on what the speaker wants to express to the listener. I hope that helps!

Dear Conrad! that was an elaborate answer to my question, and hence I appreciate it! Cheers!

Hi Judit. Well the first words that spring to mind in British English for 'vaya flipado' are 'what a nutter' or 'what a nutcase'. Both nutter and nutcase are synonyms and usually said with humour.

I love these expressions! Thank you Sandra!

Well, I don't know the word exactly but you can say "crazy or mad person or thing.

En el contexto social, is estuvieras en Inglaterra, los locales de clase obrera dirían: ' what a moron', 'he's full of hot air', ' what an idiot' entre la gente joven se suele o solían decirse la frase ' allow it!' que se traduciría con la expresión, 'sobrado'. En España tu le puedes decir a alguien, 'estás flipado' pero el caracter inglés es diferente ...

Thank you so much for your native versions of "flipado" , you have been very helpful to me. Cheers!

I’d say “he likes to show off” or “he’s such a bragger!” You’re welcome ;)
