Abstract (EN)

Arabic as a convoluted language has different ways of deriving words from agglutinative languages like Turkish. Words in Arabic are divided into two in terms of derivation, as mustaq and camid. Patterns of mustaq words are known. Due to excess of these patterns, the places and numbers of the affixes can only be known by a special study. In this study, which consists of three parts, the suffixes taken by the common words were determined and classified as derivational, inflectional and symbolic suffixes. According to the majority of linguists, nouns and verbs of Arabic origin have tree letters. New nouns such as infinitive, name perpetrator, name place are derived by adding one or more than one suffix at the same time before, inside, or after these three root letters. In the same way, it can be derived from a three-letter verb with new verbs that have different meanings such as transivity, reflexivity, exaggeration. Inflectional suffixes do not change the root meaning of the word. These suffixes express aspects such as the number, gender, time, specificity of the words to which they are added. There are also suffixes in Arabic that do not have any effect on the words that they are added to, in terms of quality and quantity. Even most of them are only found in writing, they cannot pronounce. Arabic is a language with prefixes, inserts, and suffixes the number of which varies from one to tree. These identified suffixes can be listed as follows: noun construction suffixes; ا/elif, ة/ta, م/mim, ن/nun, و/vav, ي/ya, şedde, verb construction suffixes; ا/elif, ب/ba, ت/ta, ما/ma, ن/nun, repetition of the verb letter ayne'l , س/sin, şedde, و/vav, ي/ya, noun suffixes; ا/elif, ء/hemze, اء/elif-i memdude, ى/elif-i maksura, ة/ta, ل/lam, م/mim, ن/nun, şeddeli nun/نّ, şedde, و/vav, ي/ya, verb conjugation suffixes ; ا/elif, ت/ta, ن/nun, م/mim, ن/nun, şeddeli nun/نّ, و/vav, ي/ya, noun sembolic suffixes ; ا/elif, و/vav, ي/ya verb sembolic suffixes; ا/elif, ن/nun و/vav.
