Word Recognition in Turkish
In English we have many little suffixes such as -ness, -ly, -tion etc. which we use to form and modify words and meanings from existing nouns and words. The same exists in the Turkish language and here we list some of the main ones.
Sometimes (as in English) the connection of the modified word is not always apparent from the original, however in your studies this list will help you to recognize parts of speech and take an educated guess at the actual meaning of the word in question.
It is all part of the language learning curve. Each word has to be learnt but being able to recognize word endings can often be a help in reading and communicating.
