Suffixes and Bigrams in Turkish

As I noted in my previous post, Turkish is an agglutinative language and makes heavy use of suffixes. Since suffixes are frequently used, top 2-grams (bigrams) will correspond to popular suffixes or to the end of one suffix and the beginning of the next.

Here is the list of top 25 2-grams and the suffixes they correspond to.
