Sono fuori di testa

SOH-noh FWOH-ree dee TEH-stah

I am out of my mind

💬 [Fuori di testa] is a fixed expression meaning "crazy" or "out of your mind," not literally just "outside of head." You can reuse the pattern with other forms of [essere]: [sei fuori di testa], [siamo fuori di testa].

🆚

Ma diverso da loro

mah dee-VER-soh dah LOH-roh

But different from them

💬 [Diverso] changes to match who it describes: [diverso] for one male person, [diversa] for one female, [diversi] for a mixed group or all-male group. [Da loro] stays the same: "from them" here really means "than them / compared with them."

eh too sigh FWOH-ree dee TEH-stah

💬 Italian often includes [tu] for emphasis, but it can be left out: [Tu sei fuori di testa] and [Sei fuori di testa] both work. The verb already tells you who the subject is.

And you are out of your mind, but different from them
