Introduction

Turkish...

...is a very logical language

The famous Belgian linguist Johan Vandewalia said: "As I examine the function of the Turkish structure, I find out that Turkish Language and chess are quite similar. Chess has a limited number of rules which are logical and simple. It is possible to learn chess in a short time. Even a seven year old child can learn chess. Although it has some rules which are easy to learn , the person can play it throughout his life without getting bored...."

Features of the language

Turkish Grammar is very regular: There are very few exceptions

Turkish adds endings (suffixes) to existing words where English uses separate words (agglutination)

There are no genders in Turkish (no:"he,she, it" to worry about)

Vowel Harmony is an important feature

Word order rule is: Subject - Object - Verb (adjectives precede nouns)
