In a sentence

疲(つか)れた?tired

I'm tired

How it works

This is a whole question in one word. The verb 疲れる(つかれる) (get tired) shifts to casual past 疲れた(つかれた) (got tired), and rising intonation (the ? (?)) alone makes it a question — no か (question) needed in casual speech. The subject "you" is left unsaid; context supplies it.
