Challenging particularities in Basque morphology
Basque is an agglutinative and high-inflective
Basque is postpositional; phrases are formed by attaching a suffix or concatenating more than one to the end of a word, according to the following scheme: root + (article) + (number) + (case(s).

Basque phrase order is topic-focus: the focus directly precedes the verb phrase.
