Freak out can mean many different things. It is any extreme expression of emotion!
Positive (excited or happy):
“I love Doda so much, I freaked out at the concert”
Freaked out = excited/podekscytowany
“My crush touched my hand! I’m freaking out!!!”
Freaking out = so happy/taki szczęśliwy
Negative (angry, scared, sad, panicked, worried):
“My sister stole my shirt, so I freaked out”
Freaked out = got angry/wpadłem w gniew
“I told my sister, if you don’t give back my shirt, I’ll freak out”
Freak out = will get angry/będzie zły
“She lost her wedding ring in the ocean. It was a big freak out”
Freak out = panic/panika
“The haunted house totally freaked me out!”
Freaked me out = scared me/przestraszyło mnie
Hope this helps!
