Agglutinative languages are often contrasted both with languages in which syntactic structure is expressed solely by means of word order and auxiliary words ( isolating languages ) and with languages in which a single affix typically expresses several syntactic categories and a single category may be expressed by several different affixes ( as is the case in inflectional ( fusional ) languages ).

Agglutinative languages also have large inventories of enclitics, too, which can be and are separated from the word root by native speakers in daily usage.

Agglutinative forms are also found in the verb system such as the pluperfect írta ton " I had come " ( lit.

( See also: Agglutinative language and Polysynthetic language ) All Inuit language words begin with a root morpheme to which other morphemes are suffixed.

Agglutinative languages allow for the creation of long words via compounding.

Agglutinative languages tend to create very long words with derivational morphemes.

They are bound morphemes by definition ; prefixes and suffixes may be separable affixes.

If several alkaloids are extracted from one plant then their names often contain suffixes " idine ", " anine ", " aline ", " inine ", etc.

The prefix AD and the suffixes CE, BC or BCE ( Common Era, Before Christ or Before Common Era ) are dropped.

In highly synthetic languages, copulas are often suffixes, attached to a noun, that may still behave otherwise like ordinary verbs, for example-u-in Inuit languages.

In some other languages, such as Beja and Ket, the copula takes the form of suffixes that attach to a noun but are distinct from the person agreement markers used on predicative verbs.

Sub-components are designated by one or more suffixes with the primary label, starting with lowercase letters for the 2nd hierarchical level and then numbers for the 3rd.

Verbal suffixes indicate four moods, of which the indicative has three tenses, and are derived for several aspects, but do not agree with the grammatical person or number of their subjects.

There are derivational suffixes for verbs, which carry frequentative, momentane, causative, and inchoative aspect meanings also, pairs of verbs differing only in transitivity exist.

Hiragana is used to write native words for which there are no kanji, including particles such as から kara " from ", and suffixes such as さん ~ san " Mr., Mrs., Miss, Ms ." Likewise, hiragana is used to write words whose kanji form is obscure, not known to the writer or readers, or too formal for the writing purpose.

All firearms made by HK are named by a prefix and the official designation, with suffixes used for variants.

There are several suffixes and variants.

Each word is transformed by moving the first consonant to the end ; and suffixes such as-ème ,-ji ,-oc ,-muche are added at the end ; the letter " L " is placed at the beginning of the new word.

Most bound morphemes in English are affixes, particularly prefixes and suffixes, examples of suffixes are: tion, ation, ible, ing etc ..

Verbs are composed of a root followed by one or more extensional suffixes.

Blench ( 2010 ) believes that the distribution of Nilo-Saharan reflects the waterways of the wet Sahara 12, 000 years ago, and that the protolanguage had noun classifiers, which today are reflected in a diverse range of prefixes, suffixes, and number marking.

However, some public limited companies ( mostly nationalised concerns ) incorporated under special legislation are exempted from bearing any of the identifying suffixes.

* Root ( linguistics ), also called a " radical ", the form of a word after any prefixes and suffixes are removed

When the word tour and the suffixes – ism and – ist are combined, they suggest the action of movement around a circle.

The characteristic features of the Turkic languages are vowel harmony, extensive agglutination by means of suffixes and other affixes, and lack of noun classes or grammatical gender.

Other observations are that both Uralic and Altaic languages have vowel harmony, are agglutinating in structure ( stringing suffixes, prefixes or both onto roots ), use SOV word order, and lack grammatical gender.

Examples in English are the verbal nouns formed from verbs by the addition of-ing, nouns formed from verbs using other suffixes such as organization and discovery, agent nouns formed from verbs usually with the suffix-er or-or, as in actor and worker, feminine forms of nouns such as actress, lioness, nouns formed from adjectives such as happiness, and many other types.

In many languages nouns can also be formed from other nouns and from words of other types through morphological processes, often involving the addition of prefixes and suffixes.

Like specific doctrines and theories, movements are often given names with " ism " suffixes.

The two suffixes are often combined.

Neologisms are often created by combining existing words ( see compound noun and adjective ) or by giving words new and unique suffixes or prefixes.

The voiced plosives, the post-alveolar fricative, and the frequent use of diminutives based on " l " suffixes gives the dialect a very " soft " or " mild " feel, that is often felt to be in sharp contrast to the harder varieties of German spoken in the North.

Adding prefixes or suffixes to these usually makes something completely different ( and often useless ).

For example, in Esperanto, any word can be transformed into a verb, either by altering its ending to-i, or by applying suffixes such as-igi and-iĝi ; and in Semitic languages, the process often involves changes of internal vowels, such as the Hebrew word " גגל " (, ), from the proper noun גוגל ().

Prior to that, a person was often distinguished from others by a combination of prefixes and suffixes attached to his name which, if omitted, might cause that person to be taken for someone else.

These suffixes are often dropped in common usage when no ambiguation is likely.

The two suffixes are often combined.

The set of suffixes used to indicate the other third person is sometimes called the third person different, but is also often called the fourth person.

Regardless, by analogy with more conventionally ergative languages, the-up ,-k ,-it endings described above are often called ergative suffixes which are taken to be indicative of the ergative case, while the-mik ,-rnik ,-nik endings ( see Non-specific verbs-Objects ) are called accusative.

That these sound alternations function grammatically can be seen as they are often equivalent to grammatical suffixes ( an external modification ).

Many Indo-European languages have separate inflectional morphology for nouns, verbs, and adjectives, but often this is no impediment to nominalization, as the root or stem of the adjective is readily stripped of its adjectival inflections and bedecked with nominal inflections — sometimes even with dedicated nominalizing suffixes.
