/eɾes tan ɾaɾo/

The verb eres is a peculiar historical oddity because it actually comes from a Latin future tense meaning 'you will be'. It eventually replaced the original Latin form 'es' in the evolution of the language.
In many Spanish-speaking cultures, calling someone raro is a more severe insult than calling them 'weird' in English, as it can imply the person is suspicious or socially inept.
Depending on the rising intonation used, saying eres tan raro can function as a flirtatious tease instead of a literal observation of strange behavior.

Javier, you're so weird! You always have strange anecdotes.
No entiendo tu humor, eres tan raro.
