Lo + adjective?

Question

I know you can use Lo + certain adjectives such as Lo bueno, lo mejor, lo malo, etc, but how much liberty can you take with this construction? For example, could I use "Lo loco" to say "The crazy thing". For example, "Lo loco es que mi esposa nunca asistió la fiesta!"

Thanks!

Answer 1

Yes, you may take liberties like that.

Lo loco es que mi esposa nunca hace nada.
Lo triste es que mi esposa nunca hace nada.
Lo normal es levantarme tarde.
Lo espantoso es mi cara.
