Agglutination: word = building kit

📖 Lesson ──▶ 🎯 Quiz — pick the translation ──▶ ✅ Lesson done

Turkish is agglutinative: word = root + Lego suffixes. Örnek: ev (house) → evim (my house) → evimde (in my house) → evimdeki (the one in my house). Suffixes follow strict order: root → plural (-lar/-ler) → possessive (-im) → case (-de/-e/-den). One word = whole sentence: „Gelmiyorlarmış“ = „they apparently don’t come“.

●ev-im-de-ki = in-my-house-which
●Suffixes by vowel harmony: -lar/-ler
●Gel-me-yor = come-not-will: negation infix

🧩 Longest dictionary word: muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişsinizcene (70 letters) — „you seem to be one of those whom we cannot quickly make into failure-makers“. Joke, but real.
