Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) Order

Turkish follows a Subject-Object-Verb (SOV) word order, unlike English's Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) structure. For example:

• Ben kitap okuyorum. (I book read.)
• O elma yiyor. (He/She apple eats.)

Agglutination

Turkish is an agglutinative language, meaning suffixes are added to words to indicate grammatical functions:

• Ev (house)
• Evler (houses)
• Evlerim (my houses)
• Evlerimde (in my houses)

Vowel Harmony

Suffixes change their vowels to harmonize with the stem word:

• Kitap → Kitaplar (books)
• Köpek → Köpekler (dogs)

Lack of Grammatical Gender

Turkish does not have grammatical gender for nouns or pronouns:

• O geldi. (He/She came.)

Postpositions

Instead of prepositions, Turkish uses postpositions:

• Masa üstünde (on the table)
• Ev için (for the house)

Question Formation

Questions are formed by adding the particle "mi" (and its variants) after the word being questioned:

• Geldin mi? (Did you come?)
• Kitap mı okuyorsun? (Are you reading a book?)

Negation

Verbs are negated by adding "-me/-ma" to the verb stem:

• Gelmek (to come) → Gelmemek (not to come)
• Geliyorum (I am coming) → Gelmiyorum (I am not coming)
