I am hurry

"I am hurry! " Is this sentence correct?

Today I heard this sentence by a Canadian girl in response to someone
who urged her to come quick.

But hurry is a noun or verb, so I am confused. Pls help, thanks!

The sentence "I am hurry!" is incorrect. It should be "I am in a hurry!"

I'm not sure why the speaker used "I am hurry"--it could have been that she being in a rush at the time hadn't time to express 'in a', or it could have been the case that she omitted 'in a', the small words, as a way of making her sentence easier for her listener to understand. Speakers tend to do that when they are speaking with non-native speakers. At any rate, "I am hurry" is certainly not English, let alone Canadian English. :D

If the girl is a native speaker, it is likely that she said "I am hurrying" and just didn't enunciate the last syllable. :wink:

Well, not today, but I must have said something like that sometime. Mike gives great explanations and provides wonderfully useful examples.

Of course, you are both smarter than I am.
