    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

        Inherited from Ottoman Turkish یوغورت (yoğurt), from Proto-Turkic *yogrut (“curdled, coagulated milk”),[1] from *yogur- (“to knead, to fluff up, to condense”) +‎ *-ut.[2][3] By surface analysis, yoğur- (“to knead”) +‎ -t.
