"Ben çok hastayım."

Translation: I am very sick.

[shibopshibop]

A possible mnemonic for "hasta": "He hasta be sick". hasta = sick. I know, I AM that brilliant. Sorta.

[MireilleM18]

that was amazing :D

[kikki900]

Is this correct? I am struggling with the vowel harmony
Ben hastayım
Sen hastasın
O hasta
Biz hastayız
Siz hastasınız
Onlar hastalar/hastadır

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Yep

[kikki900]

Thank you :)

[YOYOOPOT]

why didn't we use the normal "i" instead of "ı" ?

[Sincaxi]

The last vowel in the word "hasta" was a, and so the suffix has to have "ı" instead of "i". This is called vowel harmony. Sometimes you'll have to use either i, ı, u, or ü.

Word's last vowel a or ı: use ı

Word's last vowel e or i: use i

Word's last vowel o or u: use u

Word's last vowel ö or ü: use ü

[YOYOOPOT]

thanks alot :)

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Vowel harmony! Read the notes to this lesson! :)

[Akash_Polyglot]

How can i see notes in app version

[parqbench]

Make them available to us

[AlexinNotTurkey]

I literally have nothing to do with that. You should talk to the tech team or post in the trouble shooting forum. I am not a software engineer for Duolingo. :) I just made this course.

[parqbench]

fair enough. in my experience the way things change, especially with technology, isn't always the most direct route, and usually has to do with everyone involved rolling their eyes and saying "these people just won't shut up, can we fix this already?"

but really, every person on team should be concerned cus it's a pedagogical issue and user experience issue. i will of course bring it up to them but if there is no will there is no way...

[Biene_Maja_16]

How do I know when to add -y-Im for the 1st-person adjective, and when to use -m directly? Does that actually ever happen? Sorry for bothering in that case. :/

[DavidCarver]

Is that "sick" in the sense of "ill"?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

Yep

[Will709432]

So you couldn't say this meaning sick in the head?

[sapientiamagna]

Is "Ben" necessary in this context?

[AlexinNotTurkey]

It is not and normally is not necessary (unless you need to clarify or there are two subjects in the same sentence)

[Arefio]

Hasta in Persian language means tired. "Khasta"

[Farzan_Fathi]

Yes, but Turkish people use it to mean something else which is sick.

[London.CHANEL]

I truly am. :"(
