If so just put :

I was glad= Mutlu-ydum

it´s not about the ben but about the idim

I just find some difficult with turkish

I am trying hard but my turkish steel so bad

for example names can take suffix of past tens

It makes me crazy

also (mi) can take the same suffix like (miydi)

I can use tenses with verbs but become conffused with nouns

i can understand that... if you´re not used to noun sentences its different, but you´ll become used to it!

think of the verb olmak on the end of the sentence but without a space. that is all!

öðrenciydiniz - you were students

öðrenci miydiniz? - were you students?

when you sepparate it you just ´see the verb´ ýn the suffýx:

öðrenci-y-di-niz

noun-buffer-verb-person

öðrenci mi-y-di-niz

noun question particle-buffer-verb-person
