  We can still do it. Time to ask what the turkish word is so we can integrate them into our Frankenstein language

    I looked it up earlier and don’t remember the exact characters so forgive the romanization but it’s basically changing “di” to “mis” at the end of verbs.

    “It rained” vs “apparently it rained” when you did not actually see it raining but the sidewalk is wet.

    “Ali is sick” vs “Ali is supposedly sick” when you did not confirm it (or perhaps doubt Ali’s claim??)

      Thanks for making it clearer. Just to add actual turkish so people can see properly :

      Yağmur yağdı > It rained Yağmur yağmış > It’s been said that it rained

      Ali hasta > Ali is sick Ali hastamış > It’s been said that Ali is sick

      Yağmur > rain
      yağ > to spread/to rain dı > past indicator mış > second person reporting, past

      hasta > sick
