Turkish Word Order
Word order is regular, but differs from English.
1. (1) Adjectival Descriptions of Subject.
2. (2) The Subject.
3. (3) Time Clauses.
4. (4) Adjectival Descriptions of Object.
5. (5) The Object
6. - and finally -
7. (6) The Verb.
The verb is always last in a sentence. Turkish punctuation, normally puts a comma after the Subject as with this sentence. It is good practice to do this especially if the subject is extended by a long Adjectival Description.
The man with the fishing rods in his hands, - a long described subject - will be at - the verb - your friend's 50th birthday party - a long described object - tomorrow night - time phrase
Lets put that into Turkish Structure
[Ellerinde oltası olan adam, yarın gece arkadaşının 50'ci doğum günü partisini ziyaret edecek.]
Hands-his-in-which-are fishing-rods-the-with man, - a described and suffixed subject - tomorrow night - time phrase- friend-your-of 50th birthday party-his-at - a described and suffixed object - will be... - BINGO! - at last - the verb...........
