Japanese grammar of the day -1-

Hello everyone, it's me again


After days of saying that I will be making posts related to gramma, it's finally time for the First ever grammar post

For this posts, I will not be talking about too much, so that I do not cause too much of a load on you guys. (and me lol)

So for the first post, we will be learning

Japanese sentence structure





Japanese grammar is VERY different from english grammar. And I think you will get a good idea of how different it is from this one post.

Japanese basic sentences follow a "SOV or subject - object - verb" structure
Unlike english, which follows a "SVO or subject - verb - object" structure


The most basic sentence in english is probably "I eat rice"
If you were to translate this into japanese you would be saying "I rice eat"

Oh and did I mention that pretty much all the words are interchangeable?


Yep! That sentence can also be said like "Rice eat I" in japanese
Although the second one is not that common in japanese, you will often hear the subject/topic of a sentence being said last and the object being said before the verb.

Remember that these are basic sentence structures and forming an actual full sentence requires more than just word per word translations (I.e particles, next post)

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me and I will try my best to answer😊

Have a great day and thanks for reading😊
