Bizarre or bizarre ( pronounced bizz are ) means exceedingly strange--
His costume was so bizarre that no one knew what he was supposed to be.
The eclectic decor seemed bizarre to the guests.
What a strange idea! That is a bizarre notion.
Bazaar or bazaar ( pronounced buh zarr ) means the outdoor street market you might visit in a foreign country--a combination of mall, farmer's market and flea market--
We visited the bazaar and haggled over the price of souvenirs.
Our county had an old mall with booths that was called the bazaar.
Now that you know that, you can say--
"We bought that bizarre old figurine at a bazaar in Egypt."
