Questions & Answers about Midem çok ağrıyor.

Why is it midem and not just mide?
Mide means "stomach." The -m at the end is the possessive suffix for "my." In Turkish, when talking about aches and pains, you almost always attach a possessive suffix to the body part, just like in English. You don't need to say benim midem because the -m already shows it is yours.
What is the dictionary form of ağrıyor?
The dictionary form is ağrımak (to hurt / to ache). The verb root is ağrı-. Because the root already ends in the vowel ı, when we add the present continuous tense, we don't need an extra vowel buffer—we just attach -yor directly to make ağrıyor.
Can çok modify a verb directly like this?
Yes! While you might know çok as "very" before an adjective (like çok güzel for "very beautiful"), it also means "a lot" or "much" when placed right before a verb. Here, çok ağrıyor translates perfectly to "hurts a lot."
