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.
