"I am really tired."

Translation: Ich bin wirklich müde.

[LiterallyD1]

Is there any reason why "Ich bin sehr müde" isn't accepted? It means essentially the same thing unless I'm missing something.

[SamuliHave]

I was wondering the same thing. Could some german-speaking person explain this?

[Rimplot]

What about "Ich bin richtig müde" or "Ich bin echt müde"?

[WZYjt4]

same question. anyone can explain?

[Steve34747]

"I'm actually tired" is saying that you are despite it being reasonable to assume otherwise. That's very different than saying "Im very tired", which is what people generally mean when they say "really".

[PaulMcCann6]

I'm wondering if this isn't an attempt by Duo to enforce a distinction that has ceased to mean much in most of the English-speaking world. In particular: "really tired" as "authentically/actually tired", versus "really tired" as "very tired". I'd venture that "really" is more often used in such situations in the second manner these days than the first. In particular, "ich bin sehr müde" would seem a perfectly reasonable translation of "I am really tired".

Thoughts, anyone?

How about ich bin echt müde, echt translates as real but was not accepted

[Max.Em]

Did someone try "Ich bin wirklich müde" yet?

[az_p]

That is accepted.

[LiterallyD1]

I think it probably wouldn't accept it as "wirklich" I believe is usually used as a exclamation/interjection.

[Max.Em]

Look here: https://de.wiktionary.org/wiki/wirklich, meaning [3].

[Puett]

Another misuse of "total"!

[Ned_Aloha]

Sehr.

[om606na]

Can't one say "Ich bin wohl müde." ? Is it not correct?

[requin230]

No it is n ot correct

Ich bin wirklich müde - I'm really tired

Ich bin wohl müde - I may be tired

[Steve34747]

"ziemlich" should be accepted also. 2020-Mar-11

I thought 'Ich bin ganz müde' should have worked... There are too many interchangeable good translations for this sentence both ways, in my opinion.
