chắp dính
Definition
- Adjective (Grammar/Linguistics):
- Agglutinative: Describes a type of language where words are formed by joining together distinct morphemes (units of meaning like roots, prefixes, suffixes) in a linear sequence. Each morpheme typically represents a single grammatical function (e.g., tense, case, number) and retains its form and meaning without significant fusion with neighboring morphemes.
