Just started learning and wondered if you could help me?

I'm looking at personal pronouns and wonder which of the following are correct (both might be wrong).

Ben sıcakum or Ben sıcakım - Meaning I'm hot?

Thanks

As grammar, second one is right, but fs a suffix come with a vowel to a word ending with p, ç, t, k they are changed as b, c, d, g or ğ
so;
"Ben sıcağım."

but meaning isnt clear .We dont often say a sentence like ben sıcağım .

Do you wanna mean "It's hot so I am feeling bored?

If you so,you say;
Sıcaklandım as an ideom.

Sıcağım would literally be I am hot but watch out: it has cheeky connotations. You would never say it.

To say I am feeling hot, in Turkish you say I am sweaty: terliyorum. Or you just say it is hot: e.g. bugün hava çok sıcak.

Maybe you want to say something like you are sexy? As far as I know, sıcak is not for that lol

Maybe ateşli? lol

Yes hot=ateşli is a good approximation
