Suffix Order
Turkish is agglutinative - you can add multiple suffixes to one word. The order matters! Basic order: 1. Root word 2. Plural (-ler/-lar) 3. Possessive (-im, -in, -i, etc.) 4. Case (-de, -den, -e, -i) 5. Personal copula (am/is/are) Example: evlerimizde = ev + ler + imiz + de
- Possessive + Case
- Plural + Possessive + Case
