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.)
e.g.
- sen çagalara derman aldyňmy? - have you bought medicine for the children?
