Özet

Functions of the suffix -ma suffix can be classified under three groups in Turkey Turkish. This suffix produces adjectives that are related with root meanings like donme dolap, sallama cay, gomme dolap, and adjectives like bodoslama atla, silme doldur etc. Besides these functions, it produces permanent nouns like gozleme, sarma, dolma, dondurma, kuzukapama, surme, etc. This study investigates the suffix -ma as a derivational form and its functions have been classified. The study also evaluates the frequency with which it is used to coin permanent nouns and adjectives.
