““Japanese verbs, for example, are agglutinative. The word ikasetakunakatta can fairly easily be divided into the five pieces – go-cause-want-not-past – that determine its meaning (“did not want to let [someone] go”). Only the first piece is clearly part of an actual independent word, but all five pieces are meaningful units, i.e. morphemes. You””
