raro, adjective:
strange; rare
Raro is another of those Spanish words which may be a bit misleading. Though it can also mean rare, it is very commonly used to mean strange.
Es un tipo algo raro.
He’s a rather strange guy.
Tiene unas costumbres muy raras.
She has some very strange habits.
If something strikes you as strange, you use the exclamation ¡Que raro!:
No está aquí. - ¡Que raro!
It isn’t here. - How strange!
To emphasize that something that’s happened is really strange, you can use:
¡Que cosa más rara!
How very strange!
