Modern Mongolian is an agglutinative, almost exclusively suffixing language, the only exception being reduplication. Mongolian also does not have gendered nouns, or definite articles like "the". Most of the suffixes consist of a single morpheme. There are many derivational morphemes. For example, the word "bajguullagynh" consists of the root "baj"- 'to be', an epenthetic -"g"-, the causative -"uul"- (hence 'to found'), the derivative suffix -"laga" that forms nouns created by the action (like -"ation" in 'organisation') and the complex suffix –"ynh" denoting something that belongs to the modified word (-"yn" would be genitive).
