To TDOL-->I'm shut up.

[blacknomi]

Dear TDOL (is it pronouncable?)

About the subject of sarcasm, you mentioned a sentecne "I'm shut up."
Why do you put 'am' before 'shut up' . It doesn't make sense grammatically.


I am shutting up. ( doesn't make sense, "shut" is a verb that usually doesn't use continuois tense)

I shup up. (sounds weird, but OK? )

I'll shup up. ( this makes more sense, the action starts from the mement you utter this sentence.)


I'm shup up. ( Is it spoken language?)



Now I'm shut up and waiting for your answer.

It's a colloquial informal usage, where the past participle is used as an ajective; you'll also hear 'I'm gone'when someone is leaving. It is spoken language and doesn't follow the normal rules of grammar.

PS It's pronounced tea-doll.
