Hello,

First post

 

How would you say to a friend:

´You must be so happy!´

 

Thank you!

My try as a learner:

 

Mutlu olmazsýn lazým

or

Mutlu olmalýsýn

Quoting izah

 

maz is negative

 

 

 But when you but Lazým or gerek you have to do it negative

For example: I must go- Ben gitmem lazým

 Look here to be more sure:

 

Lazým or gerek:

 

Verb+me/ma+personal suffix+ lazým or gerek

Does it work when I´m not the implying that the person is currently unhappy:

 

´You must be SO happy´ as opposed to ´you MUST be happy´?
