Not all languages are as inflectional (or more precisely, "fusional") as
French, German, and Latin. In fusional languages, a single affix can
incorporate more than one element of meaning (such as tense, person, number
and mood all in one suffix). But a language like Turkish (often referred to
as an "agglutinative" language) represents each element with a separate
morpheme rather than combining them like Latin does. Since I don't know
Turkish, I'll illustrate with some examples from Kazvarad (one of my rare
agglutinative languages).
Sharvinalikekh.
sharvin- a- l- ik- ekh
know I(NOM) it(ACC) PAST NEG
"I didn't know it."
Kalazaldekh.
kalaz- a- l- d- ekh
see I(NOM) it(ACC) can NEG
"I can't see it."
Mishadimat kalazva.
mishad- im- at kalaz- va
cat ERG DEF see me(ACC)
"The cat sees me."
