Turkish and Chinese belong to two different language families. Due to this, their sentence structures differ significantly. In Turkish, the basic sentence structure is subject-verb-object (SVO), meaning that the subject comes first, followed by the verb and then the object. For example, "Ben kitabı okuyorum" (I am reading the book) is a typical Turkish sentence with an SVO structure. However, Turkish is a highly inflected language, meaning that words use suffixes to indicate various grammatical features, such as case, tense, and mood. These suffixes can change the order of the words in a sentence, making the language highly flexible. In contrast, Chinese is a subject-verb-object (SVO) language but has a more flexible word order than Turkish. Chinese uses particles to mark the roles of the words in a sentence, and the word order is often determined by the information structure of the sentence. For example, a topic-comment structure is commonly used in Chinese, where the topic comes first, followed by the comment. The topic is usually a known or established concept in this structure, and the comment provides new or additional information. For example, "这个书是我买的" (This book is the one I bought) is a Chinese sentence with an SVO structure but with a topic-comment structure. The topic is "这个书" (this book), and the comment is "是我买的" (is the one I bought). Another significant difference between Turkish and Chinese sentence structure is the use of particles. In Chinese, particles are used to indicate the role of a word in a sentence, such as the subject, object, or verb. In Turkish, on the other hand, suffixes are used for the same purpose. This means that Turkish speakers use a different set of grammatical markers than Chinese speakers, and the way that they indicate grammatical relationships in a sentence is different.
