All of your photos drive me crazy

Sé que la expresión 'to drive someone crazy' significa volver loco. Pero como se dice en español "All of your photos drive me crazy. They are so sexy" Todas sus fotos ????. Son tan sexy. No creo es correcta decir "volver loco"

Saludos

Podría decirse "Todas tus fotos me vuelven loco/a". También cabe la posibilidad de emplear otros verbos vinculados al caso: "Todas tus fotos me enamoran/me enloquecen/me pirran" o, con un carácter sexual implícito: "Todas tus fotos me calientan/me ponen".

Un saludo sincero.

Una foto sexi puede hacer enloquecer.

@Brasimericano: Julvenzor has already given you the straight answer, but you need to know that the verb "volver" must be conjugated accordingly to the person who is speaking and one must add the indirect object pronoun so the expression makes sense.

Cierto. Últimamente están adaptando todas las palabras extranjeras a lo usual en español y asumí que era el caso de "sexy" también.
"Sexy" se queda entonces como es.

¿Es "sexi" una palabra nativa al español o lo sacaron del íngles?

Pensé que era una palabra jergal en español.

@Stewie-Y: "Sexy" viene del inglés, no del español. Y "sexi" no es correcto, me corrigió alejandrovig. En inglés y en español, se escribe "sexy".
