2. What is morphology?
The term morphology is Greek and is a makeup of morph (shape, form) and -ology (the study of something).
In linguistics, it is the scientific study (identification, analysis, and description) of forms and structure of words in a language.

3. The Turkish Language
Turkish also referred to as Istanbul Turkish, is the most widely spoken of the Turkic languages, with around 10–15 million native speakers in South Eastern Europe and 55–60 million native speakers in Western Asia. Speakers are located predominantly in Turkey, with smaller groups in Germany, Bulgaria, Macedonia, Northern Cyprus, Greece and other parts of Europe and Central Asia.

5. Reduplication (Full or partial repetition of a morpheme)
In Turkish, a word can be reduplicated while replacing the initial consonants. The effect is that the meaning of the original word is broadened. Some of these words are not true words alone.
