The Difference Between Analytic and Isolating
For example Indonesian only has two inflectional affixes but about 25 derivational morphemes. So that's one example where you can definitely have a very rich derivational side of it and then for your inflectional be a little more analytic. Even in languages that are considered highly isolating some of them cheat. Vietnamese has a number of compounding elements which simply cannot ever be used by themselves, yet they're productive in producing new multivirred lexical items.
