All languages on Earth are very different, but they are typologically organized according to one of two concepts: there are agglutinative, and there are inflectional. These concepts are a kind of set of rules by which words in a language are connected with each other and form new ones.
Agglutinative languages are structured as follows: there is a certain significant basis in which the main lexical meaning lies, and affixes, that is, other morphemes, are added to it in a certain, strictly specified order. Agglutinative languages include Finnish, Estonian, Turkish and other languages.
In inflectional languages , there is also a root that has only lexical meaning, but affixes are ambiguous. A striking example of inflectional language is Russian, and affixes - endings, prefixes and suffixes of the Russian language. They change when the shape changes.
The suffix in the Russian language can have many meanings. Consider, for example, the participles in the present tense of the active voice - they are formed using the suffixes -usch - / - yusch-. The suffix in the Russian language -usch- (- yusch-) has both the meaning of the verb and its non-personal form - the participle of the present tense and the active voice. In an agglutinative language, the suffix -usch- (- yusch-) would be three suffixes with three different meanings.
Word-forming and formative suffixes and prefixes
The prefix and suffix in the Russian language can be formative, that is, form new forms of the word, change its inconstant signs (for example, the suffix of a verb in Russian in the past tense - changes the form of the verb from the present tense to the past, but it remains a verb ) and word-building, that is, those that change the meaning of the word (for example, the prefix -: walk - enter). The prefix is more often word-forming, the suffix in Russian is form-forming. Endings are only formative. Inflective include Russian, Arabic, Latin, Greek.
Communion Suffixes
For the study of classification of suffixes of participles and their spelling is very interesting. It takes into account the time (past and present - the participles do not have a future), a pledge (real or passive) in the conjugation, to which the verb forming the given participle belongs. The participle in the present tense of the active voice has a suffix in the Russian language -ush - (- yush-) for the first declension and -ash - (- yash-) for the second. In the past of the same voice - suffixes -sh - / - vsh-. The passive in the present tense is -em - / - im-, and in the past tense, the suffixes of verbs in the Russian language -n - / - nn- and -t- (bent) are presented. The last form of the participle is often confused with the adjective, but distinguishing them is not so difficult: the participle cannot have nouns dependent on it. It turns out that all of the verb can form 4 participles, but this does not always work.
It is impossible to break down languages according to the principle of complex and simple, beautiful and ugly. On the one hand, it is difficult to memorize ending tables by studying inflected ones, and on the other hand, try to understand how to include an indirect complement in incorporating ones. It all depends on what kind of native speaker you are and what languages have been taught before. In any case, learning each language is a fascinating and useful activity.
