Morphology, word structure, stem and suffixes

The part of a word that expresses its main meaning and can be used independently is the stem. The part that cannot be used independently, that is added to a stem to give a new or additional meaning, or that links words, is a suffix. In mevazor, mevali, mevaning, mevalarni, meva (fruit) is the stem and can stand alone; -zor, -li, -ning, -lar, -ni are suffixes and cannot be used alone. Words with a common stem are called words of the same stem: tashvishli, sertashvish, tashvishlanmoq (all from tashvish, worry).
