Questions & Answers about Evet, şimdi çok yorgunum.

What does the -um at the end of yorgunum do?
yorgun means tired. The -um suffix is the personal ending for I am. In Turkish, you attach this directly to the adjective, so yorgunum means I am tired. Because of this suffix, you don't even need to say ben (I) at the start of the sentence!
Why is the suffix -um instead of -im?
This happens because of 4-way vowel harmony. The last vowel in yorgun is u. To make the word sound smooth, the suffix changes its vowel to match, becoming -um.
How would I use değil to say I am NOT very tired now?
You would say şimdi çok yorgun değilim. To make an adjective negative, you use the word değil (not). The most important rule to remember is that the I am suffix moves off the adjective (yorgun) and attaches directly to the negative word, becoming değilim.
Why does şimdi come before çok yorgunum?
In Turkish, time words like şimdi (now) usually go near the beginning of the sentence. The main action or state of being, like yorgunum (I am tired), almost always belongs at the very end.
