ca me rend fou


Explanation:
It makes me mad- a verbatim translation should be similar to "on s'exaspere" or "on se rend fou", but it is too impersonal, therefore I would prefer to translate it as "ca me rend fou".


please correct the letters "c"

ça me rend furieus (e)


Explanation:
Je pense que dans ce cas-ci, fou est une traduction littéale du mot mad. Dans le contexte, je pense mad a plutôt la signification de "angry" : ça me met en colère.
Voìr:
3. [angry] en colère, furieux
he went mad when he saw them il s'est mis dans une colère noire en les voyant
