Language/Turkmen/Grammar/Word-order

Hello Turkmen learners! 😀

In today's lesson, you will learn what is the word order in Turkmen.

As in other Turkic languages, Turkmen sentences have a Subject-Object-Verb word. Other word orders are also possible, depending on discourse-oriented considerations such as emphasis.

The usual word order is:

subject (indirect object) object verb phrase (e.g. gerund + main verb.)

With the completion of this lesson, consider investigating these related pages: The Case system, Future Tense, Past in the past (pluperfect) & The Subjunctive Mood.

e.g.

• sen çagalara derman aldyňmy? - have you bought medicine for the children?
