The characteristics of the Turkish language!
This agglutinative language has the word order SOV. Stress is generally on the last syllable. In the Turksih language there are 6 noun cases: Nominative, Genitive, Dative, Acusative, Ablative, and Locative. In this language tense, mood and aspect are all shown in their verbs. Something interesting I found was that they compound words to make a new one. As an example, gökdelen, which in English is skyscraper. This word was made by combining gök ("sky") and del- ("to pierce"). The literal translation is sky piercer. This compounding of words is something that the German language does as well. There is no gender in this language.
