How to say "To be tired and/or sleepy" ?
I know this is a question about basic Japanese grammar but I'm still confused. I'm not sure how to connect a verb with an adjective or an adjective with a verb. So I would like to know how to say these 4 sentences:
1. I'm tired and sleepy.
2. I'm sleepy and tired.
3. Are you tired or sleepy?
4. Are you sleepy or tired?

I know "sleepy" is 眠い and "tired" is 疲れた. But my problem is with the grammar.

Thanks.

Answer

>1. I'm tired and sleepy.

「疲れた。眠い」
　　「疲れたし、眠い」
　　「疲れて、眠い」

>2. I'm sleepy and tired.
   「眠い。疲れた」
　　「眠いし、疲れた」
　　「眠くて、疲れた」
       （※ saying "tired because sleelpy", a little bit strange logic)

>3. Are you tired or sleepy?

「お疲れですか？　それとも眠いのでしょうか？」

>4. Are you sleepy or tired?

「眠いのですか？　それともお疲れですか？」
