Turkish is agglutinative. One classic example is the provocative question:
Fotograflardakilerdenmisiniz?
This thing contains one independent noun, and all the rest of it is suffixes ( which are what Turkish uses to embody morphemes ), and the whole thing is a complete, understandable sentence:
"Are you one of the people in the photographs?"
And if you think that one is bad, they've got worse. I don't know any Sumerian, but it must be like this.
