Enloquecer(se?)
In my Spanish workbook, "enloquecer(se)" is in a list of reflexive verbs, but none of the rest of the verbs has the "se" in parentheses. In the Tomisimo dictionary, it is listed both with and without the "se". In another dictionary I use, the reflexive isn't mentioned at all.
Is this one of those verbs that has a different meaning when reflexive than when not? Will you give me some examples of "enloquecer" and "enloquecerse"? THANKS!!

Enloquecer - to go mad (literal)
- ¿Cómo murió? - Se suicidó. Perdió a su mujer en un accidente y enloqueció. Se tiró desde un 6º piso. (apologise for the example. a bit strong but it gets the point across, I think ) Enloquecerse - to be made/driven crazy/wild (figurative) Me enloquece que hagas eso. It makes/drives me crazy/wild when you do that. NB: Like in English, in Spanish it can have a positive or negative meaning.

El español hace enloquecerme. Bob trató de aprender todas las palabras españolas y enloqueció.

If you say "los idiomas me enloquecen" it can mean a couple of things.
Que te vuelven loco. Que te gustan mucho. Que te enojan. :-) |

There're many examples that you can apply in your homework, perhaps you're even a noob in the word. I will became crazy. Enloquecere. I'm totally crazy for you. Estoy totalmente enloquecido por ti. You will madden for the high price of the products in the supermarket. Vas a enloquecer por los altos precios de los productos en el supermercado. I hope that those examples can help you.

@Bob: "El español me hace enloquecer" sounds better.
@Lou Ann: it's a great verb.

There seem to be lots of great verbs in Spanish. My favorite is still agotar.
