Today I watched at TV this sentence " You are mad" and it was translated like "You are angry" - Is it true?

Yes 'You are mad' can mean 'You are angry' There are four ways that I know of that mad can be used 1. Mad can describe someone who has a mental illness 2. You can describe someone as mad if they act in a silly way, for example. He was mad to go out in the rain without a raincoat. 3. Someone who is mad is angry for example Sue was mad at Jane for breaking her favourite vase. 4. You can be mad about someone or something , for example John was mad about golf meaning he liked golf very much or Jane is mad about John meaning she liked him very much

Was it " Are you mad at me?" that would also mean " are you angry at me?'" You can also say, " Don't be mad at me/don't be angry at me"

Hello Lale, 'to be mad at something or someone' informally means to be angry or resentful. So, it could mean in this context ' you are angry'.

hi~ i think it depends on the situation. if for example the scene was something like the characters are fighting probably the translation is correct, but it can also mean that you are crazy (mad=crazy). it really depends on the situation :) hope that helps~ :)))
