You make new words in turkish by adding proper suffixes to a noun (isim) or to a verb (fiil). This new word can be a noun and even a verb.

for example:
sample suffix to make a word from a verb
-aç -> say (count) + aç = sayaç (Counter)
kaldır + aç = kaldıraç
bağla + aç = bağlaç

sample suffix to make a word from a noun
-lük, luk -> göz (eye) + lük = gözlük (eyeglass)
bir (one) + lik = birlik (unity)
sağ (alive) + lık = sağlık (Health)

What are the other suffixes to create words from a noun or verb?
