Alternatives for 狂

[Nikar]

Hi all,

Need some help again here. Are there any cool-sounding alternatives/substitutes for the word 狂? This 狂 character means crazy or insane.

Thanks!

Nikar.

疯狂. Oh wait, that's with the same 狂.

疯狂. Oh wait, that's with the same 狂.

Here's something different : 疯

For crazy/insane as in 瘋狂, try 癲 as in 瘋癲.

For wild as in 狂野/輕狂, try 野 (of course).

For arrogant as in 狂妄, try 囂 as in 囂張.

Thanks a lot, all!

But in particular, SkyLee.....how do you pronouce 癲 ? Can you gimme the Hanyu Pinyin version(with the tone as well, like first tone, second tone, third tone and fourth tone)?

For example, 張 in Hanyu Pinyin is Zhang(first tone).

Lastly, is 囂 pronounced as Xiao(first tone)?

Thanks,

Nikar.

癲 is dian1.

囂 is xiao1.
