Besides suffixes, we make new words through blending, in the same way as in English. Such words are usually made joining the beginning of one word and the end of another.
Here are some examples:
sunta = suni + tahta
Avrasya = Avrupa + Asya
sevdicem = sevdiğim + seveceğim
gerzek = geri + zekalı
naber = ne + haber
bilezik = bilek + yüzük
ködi = köpek + kedi (a pet shop in my old neighbourhood)
Do you know any other blend words in Turkish?
