Turkmen Turkish is included in the eastern branch of Oghuz Turkic dialects. Although it has different features from other Turkish dialects in many aspects, some of its features are also different from other Oghuz Turkish dialects. Another important feature that distinguishes Turkmen Turkish from both other Turkish dialects and Oghuz Turkic dialects is the use of the dative case suffix. When the dative case suffix is added to the words ending with vowels, the y sound is inserted in other Oghuz phrase Turkish dialects such as Turkey Turkish, Azerbaijan Turkish, Gagauz Turkish, while the suffix is added directly without a consonant in the Standard Turkmen Turkish and in the majority of Turkmen dialects. When the first studies on Turkmen Turkish are examined and some dialects with few speakers are examined, it is seen that the y sound is added. In addition, in some of the first studies on Turkmen Turkish, the dative case suffix is provided as +(y)A. In this study, the +(y)A form of the dative case in dialects and in the first grammars has been revealed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The characteristic of deriving new words of Turkish due to its morphological structure has a great emphasis on understanding and explaining abilities. Being able to derive new words from roots and stems of the words with the help of morphemes affect the vocabulary stock positively. The purpose of the study is to get an opinion about the reflection of the characteristics of deriving new words of Turkish on written explanations of elementary students. In the study, word frequency lists, which were formed specifically for each grade level, are used. The most frequent 500 words for each grade are taken from word frequency lists. Total 4000 words that were taken from frequency lists have been examined according to its structure, derived words that have morphemes have been classified according to grade levels and they have been analyzed and interpreted according to the kinds, numbers, frequencies and percentages of morphemes. In the study, it has been found out that in all grade levels of elementary school; total of 715 words of which 325 different derived words are used; along with word derivations of 44 different morphemes; suffixes that make nouns from verbs are equivalent to the half of the total morphemes used (22 suffixes used) and the least used ones are the suffixes that make verbs from nouns ( 2 suffixes only).
