Agglutinative in a sentence as an adjective

And that's not looking at compounds and agglutinative languages.

Both are agglutinative languages with vowel harmony and "floating" word order.

Turkish is an agglutinative language, that last u is actually a possessive affix and doesn't make sense when the word is by itself.

Because Japanese is an agglutinative language, using characters just doesn't make sense with its grammar.

Just learning the words sounds great until you find out that Korean is agglutinative, and Koreans don't even agree on where the word boundaries are.

> They just memorize the final formsI don't think it is possible to memorize all the gazillions of final forms in an agglutinative language.

I am not sure if this is happening to Finnish, but as an Arabic speaker it is very fun to use an agglutinative language with a special pattern system.

I also really enjoy the agglutinative aspects of the language and use of "post-positions" rather than prepositions.

Japanese is also agglutinative but lacks vowel harmony.

Or maybe the author is implying that agglutinative languages don't suffer from that problem?I am only talking about vocabulary, because this issue alone is enough to demonstrate the problem.

Designing a high quality and compact spell checker for agglutinative languages like Turkish or Hungarian is definitely a non trivial and challenging problem.

Word order is identical in many sentences, both use particles or postpositions to mark the function of nouns, both use topics instead of subjects, both allow you to omit the topic if it can be inferred through context, both have a respect hierarchy built into the grammar, both have tons of pronouns and related categories of family words, both have the adversative passive of Chinese, both are agglutinative in the sense that they allow you to add a noun after a verb phrase to form a relative clause that modifies the noun, both have lots of similarly-pronounced Chinese-derived open class words, both have the rare alveolo-palatal fricatives and affricates in their sound inventories as is found in Mandarin, both make the /h/ consonant a voiceless palatal fricative before [i] or [j], etc.
