What is an "agglutinative language"?
An agglutinative language is a type of language characterized by the use of a series of affixes attached to a root word to express grammatical relationships and meanings. In these languages, each affix typically has a clear, specific function, such as indicating tense, number, or case, and can be added in a linear sequence. This results in longer words that convey detailed information through the combination of multiple morphemes. Examples of agglutinative languages include Turkish, Finnish, and Swahili, where words can be formed by adding various prefixes and suffixes, making the grammatical structure relatively transparent and systematic.
