Turkish grammar's defining feature is agglutination — building words by stacking suffixes onto a root, each suffix adding one specific piece of grammatical meaning in a fixed order.
The classic example: evlerimizde breaks down as ev (house) + ler (plural) + imiz (our) + de (in/at), translating to the full English phrase "in our houses." Each piece is a separate, predictable suffix — Turkish grammar is less about memorizing exceptions and more about learning which suffix does which job and in what order they stack.
Unlike Arabic, Latvian, German, or French, Turkish nouns have no grammatical gender at all — there's no masculine/feminine (or neuter) distinction to track, which removes an entire category of agreement rules other languages require.
Turkish default word order is subject-object-verb (SOV), placing the verb at the end of the sentence, though word order is flexible for emphasis. Questions are marked with a separate particle (mi/mı, adjusted by vowel harmony) rather than intonation alone.
