Hi mem!!!
What is the context of "unusual" in this instance?
Freak, by definition means unusual in the extreme.
In the U.S. the word freak covers a lot of territory. It can mean something either good or bad depending on the context.
The old definition used to be monster (monstruo) but that hardly applies anymore.
Someone with extraordinary talent or physical attributes, a singer, dancer, athlete or a person with unusual intelligence or mental abilities could be called a freak (as in "freak of nature") and it would be a compliment, an acknowledgement of their ability. (fenómeno)
A person with very unusual or bizarre habits or mannerism could be called "freaky" or a freak but it could be good or bad depending on the person. A goofy acting person who does odd things but is still a nice person is a "good" freak. A person with unusually bad habits and weird mannerisms who is not well-liked would be a "bad" freak. (estrafalaria)
Everything depends on the context.
So, is there a word in Spanish that covers all these meanings or do you have to know which kind of freak you are referring to?
