Hey, does this make sense?

"Она убедила меня, что она сошла с ума."

I'm playing with new words. I'm trying not to hurt myself. :)

"she convinced me, that she is crazy"

сошла с ума is idiomatic form meaning "crazy, took leave of one's senses"

[lucky-lr.livejournal.com]

I think, that it is not "crasy", but "insane".

[dimon37.livejournal.com]

what exactly is the difference between crazy and insane?

[prosto-los.livejournal.com]

Sounds ok, but would sound better like this:
"Она убедила меня в том, что (она) сошла с ума" оr
"Oна убедила меня в своем сумасшествии"

[ex-eugzol340.livejournal.com]

"Она убедила меня в своём сумасшествии" does not sound good for me =)

[zloizloi.livejournal.com]

yes, it makes sense. Second она sounds redundant to me, but it may be necessary in the context.

[ex-eugzol340.livejournal.com]

You're right.

"Она убедила меня, что она сошла с ума."

Let me try to (at least) translate it into English letters since I am crap with actually translating the words into English words.

Ona ubedila myenya, (?)to ona soshla s uma.

что is generally rendered as either chto (if you're going by more of a spelling-based transliteration rule) or shto (if you're going by a sound-based rule).

>translate it into English letters

it is called "transliteration" :)

[sinee-solnce.livejournal.com]

shto is the most correct pronounciation
pronouncing the word "что" like "chto" is considered to be "mauvais ton"

It's absolutely perfect Russian. Congratulations.

[neurokinetic.livejournal.com]

There are 2 contexts in "she convinced me that she is crazy", first " она убедила меня в своем сумасшествии" means that she said or did sth rather mad or dangerous or risky, sth out of ordinary. second "я убедился в том, что она сумасшедшая" or "я убедился в ее сумасшествии" means kind of diagnos that she is insane, can't control her actions and acts like an insane person. Although these are just subtleties.
