This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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
wait, is that yag also the root for yogurt? sorry for the lack of diacritics
