🇬🇧🇪🇸 psycho - psicópata : English Lesson
noun
“Oops, the video you wanted took a vacation. Here’s a random one that didn’t!”
Meaning of "psycho" ("psicópata"), detailed definition, and a short video lesson below.
A psycho is a person who acts in a very strange, scary, and unsafe way because their mind is not working normally. This word is usually used as an insult, so it’s not a kind word to call someone. People might use it to describe a character in a horror movie who does creepy or dangerous things. In real life, if someone acts like a psycho, they might scare others by being wild, out of control, or trying to hurt people.

The movie was so spooky that my brother whispered, “That villain is a total psycho,” and then hid behind the popcorn.
