      • Vowel-final nouns: add suffixes directly to the stem.
      • Consonant-final nouns: require a "buffer" vowel before adding suffixes.

    • Turkish verbs conjugate according to tense, aspect, mood, person, and number.
    • Verb stems can be modified with various suffixes to indicate grammatical function.
    • Two main types of verb conjugation:
