Day 2: Two-way vowel harmony

Turkish uses vowel harmony to help the language flow more smoothly. The vowel in a termination/suffix changes to harmonise with the last vowel in the word it is added to.

Turkish vowels are either front or back vowels (based on tongue position when pronouncing them).

☪︎ Back vowels: a, ı, o, u

☪︎ Front vowels: e, i, ö, ü

For suffixes with two options, back vowels will use the back vowel suffix (a) and front vowels will use the front suffix (e).

Example: suffix ler/lar (used to pluralise words)

Back vowels > lar

☪︎ Arkadaş > arkadaşlar (friend > friends)

☪︎ Hayvan > hayvanlar (animal > animals)

☪︎ Kadın > kadınlar (woman > women)

Front vowels > ler

☪︎ Erkek > erkekler (man > men)

☪︎ Köpek > köpekler (dog > dogs)
