@licharainone Great question!
Weird is stating that something is unusual but sometimes unnatural. Sometimes it can be a bit mean; bullies sometimes say âsheâs so weirdâ or âheâs such a weirdoâ. BUT an appropriate version would sound like this; âThatâs a weird showâ
Strange is also saying something is unusual and usually said about an event, occurrence or thing(not people). âWow! What a strange looking boat!â It is very similar to weird but still not the same.
Rare is saying something is not very likely found. For example the original copy of a famous book would be rare because it is lacking in quantity. A common example of the word being used is a ârare diamondâ.
Odd is basically the same meaning as strange. :)
Hope this helps.
