Welcome to Tatoeba! We're delighted to see someone translate from Russian to English.
Please try not to create duplicates. Most common phrases have already been added into the database by someone else; we are advised to use the search function before submitting a sentence that seems common enough in order to check whether it already exists in the database.
Advanced contributors, such as myself, can link existing sentences that are not linked directly, so there is no need to make duplicates. You, too, can apply to become an advanced contributor after you show reasonable activity for a month or so. Such requests are routinely granted.

I hope you have a great time contributing~

For some reason, sentence #2111679 ("I'm thirty") has accidentally become linked indirectly to this one ("I'm thirsty.") Clearly this was done in error, since the meanings are so different, but I don't know how to correct it.

The problem is the Hebrew sentence #3743172 since it's linked to both "I'm thirty" and "I'm thirsty". Perhaps @AlanF_US could help us here.

Thanks for diagnosing this. Unlinking the incorrect Hebrew-English pair will likely solve the problem, @odexed.

Yes, it was correctly linked to "I'm thirsty" but incorrectly linked to "I'm thirty". I removed the bad link.

Remember that we use straight apostrophes in English here

I made this change, so the duplicates will be merged.

FROM:
I’m thirsty.
TO:
I'm thirsty.
