I am so sleepy

Yo soy muy sueño.


Is this the correct way to say "I am so sleepy."

The correct way is: [Yo] Estoy muy somnoliento/adormilado.
("sueño" is a noun, and here you are expressing quality, so you have to use an adjetive)
Here "soy" is used to add an atribute to the subject (sustantive verb); If you say: "Yo soy muy somnoliento" you are saying that you are used to be sleepy.
To indicate transitive state use "estar", at least in this format.

I think Bob is trying to use English to endorse in the sense of confirm or agree with, and guessing that Spanish endosar means the same.

@Bob: you meant "Gracias por:

- apoyarme"
- estar de acuerdo conmigo"
- coincidir con mi punto de vista"
...

"Endorsar" does not exist in Spanish.
"Endosar" means to hand over to someone a financial document, by signing it at the back of the document. It can also mean to lumber someone with something.

Os he causado un poco confusión

Quise decir "support me" , busqué en el diccionario y encontrar nada a menos que "Endorsar", que significa "support"

Cierto que "apoyar" es el verbo para que busca

Gracias !
