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
