Turkish: An Essential Grammar is a concise, user-friendly guide to the most important structures of contemporary Turkish.

Presenting a fresh and accessible description of the language, this engaging grammar uses clear, jargon-free explanations offering practical guidance on understanding and constructing words and sentences correctly.

Key features include:

  • pronunciation guide
  • clear grammatical explanations
  • frequent use of examples from colloquial and formal speech, accompanied by translations
  • illustrative tables and a series of appendices to complement the explanations
  • full glossary of grammatical terms.

With numerous language examples bringing grammar to life, this truly essential reference work will prove invaluable to all students looking to master the patterns of modern Turkish, which are often very different from those in English or other European languages.
