Explanation

Morphology studies the grammatical meanings and forms of words. A word is made of a stem and suffixes. Suffixes are word-building or form-building; form-builders are lexical or syntactic. Words without a word-building suffix are root words and those with one are derived. The order of the parts: stem, word-building, lexical, syntactic.

Worked examples
ozchilik (minority) = oz + -chilik; zargar (jeweller) = zar + -gar; fidokorlik (selflessness) = fido + -kor + -lik.
bayramlarga (to the holidays) = bayram + -lar + -ga (both form-building).
