The literal meaning is:
“C’est bizarre” is the common way to express “It’s weird” in French and it’s fine in most contexts.
Use it exactly like you would use “It’s weird” in English. If you want something even more formal, you can say: “C’est étrange” (It’s strange). But for something more informal, you can use instead “C’est chelou“.
One example: you tell a friend that you had the same dream 5 days in a row, and you add: “C’est bizarre non ?” (It’s weird no?). And your friend would answer: “Oui, c’est bizarre !” (Yes, it’s weird!)
To highlight how weird this is, you can add the word “Grave” (Seriously) before the word “Bizarre” which makes the sentence informal. Or you can add instead “Très” (Very) or “Vraiment” (Really) to keep the sentence formal/neutral.
Examples: “C’est grave bizarre” (It’s seriously weird) or “C’est vraiment bizarre” (It’s really weird).
