a far as ım concerned 'foolish' relates with being silly or ridiculous, so not exactly close to 'dengesiz'. because 'dengesiz' means someone who has quick or frequent changes in his ideas or character. so here 'chameleon,astatic, or erratic' can be used. that's just my ideas.

regards..

foolish is not covering the word "dengesiz" in turkish in my opinion.foolish means aptalca dengesiz states a person who behaves unpexpectedly and shockingly

foolish n'est pas suffisant pour le terme dengesiz qui en français signifie "déséquilibré" il pourrait qualifier un personne qui a des changements de comportement et/ou d'humeur.

Doesn't "dengesiz" mean "unbalanced"? The word "unbalanced" can be used to mean "crazy" in English, too. I think it is the right translation here.

"lunatic", maybe? note that I'm not sure at all, I'm just wondering because "lunatique" in French is the exact description of someone who is changing very often in terms of mood. Most of the people who are behaving this way are suffering from some depression disease. Is this what is meant with the English word "lunatic"? (could be a "false friend" like it exists so often between French and English language-I'm just curious here-)

As Kafetzou says that unbalanced can be used in english, it is the right word to translate dengesiz.

Francky5591, when we look from the point of mental balance, being lunatic seems as the same as being 'dengesiz'. Yet lunatic means being insane /or being reckless and irresponsible, on the other hand 'dengesiz' is not something related with a person who is mentally ill, but who is inconsistent and too open to chance quickly and suddenly. so they definitely not stand for the same meaning. hope relief of your curiousity

Thanks a lot handyy, so "dengesiz" is rather matching the French word "lunatique" than the English one "lunatic".

OK - I misunderstood "dengesiz" - "unbalanced" would not be a good translation because that does sound like someone who is insane (a lunatic).

How about "fickle"?

bu daha çok "dönek" ve "maymun iştahlı" gibi anlamlara geliyor maybe "inconsistent" would be okey because "dengesiz"=tutum ve davranışlarında uyum olmayan (kimse), istikrarsız.
