General Information about the language Turkish belongs to Ural-Altaic group of languages. With a few exceptions the main features which distinguish Ural-Altaic languages from the Indo- European languages are 1. Agglutination 2. Vowel Harmony 3. Non-existence of gender 4. Adjectives precede nouns 5. Verbs always at the end of sentences WORD ORDER RULES 1-Subject comes first it is followed by expression(s) of time next come expresion(s) of place and the last items are the personal and main object(s) which are followed at the very end by the verb 2- Modifiers appear before whatever they modify (Therefore, adjectives as well as participles and qualifying nouns precede nouns)
GRAMMAR VOWEL HARMONY When you are adding a suffix to a word, the suffix has to harmonise with the word you are adding it to. There are two types of suffixes: -E TYPE (The suffix contains a or e) - I TYPE (The suffix contains ı,i,u or ü ) and there are two type of vowels: Front vowels Back vowels E İ A I Ö Ü O U Example: PLURALS: To make a noun plural you add either -lar or -ler in Turkish The noun does not take the plural ending when there is a numeral or a quantifier before it! How will you decide which one you are going to add? A word: adam=man You want to say: men You should add -lar or -ler to adam. The last vowel in the base is: a, this is a e type suffix, so you choose a= adamlar
