Sentence Structure

Hello, people

Wazzaaa? I'm just gonna start off right where I left off in the last post.

Learning Japanese. As a speaker of the English language, it is certainly more difficult than learning a language like Spanish. First of all, the grammar is totally different. In the case of Spanish, you can usually translate word for word and it will mostly make sense. Not so with Japanese. English an Japanese are totally different. You basically have to learn to put sentences together from scratch.

In Japanese sentences are structured "*Subject* *Object* *Verb*", unlike English which is structured "*Subject* *Verb* *Object*." Lemme explain that in a different way for people who are not understanding. In English you would say "the girl drinks water." In Japanese you would say "onnanoko wa mizu o nonde imasu" (おんなのこわみずおのんでいま) which word for word is "Girl *Subject Particle* Water *Object Particle* drink *Verb ending*."

As you can see: totally different. I would love to write more but my friend is calling me and we need to talk about something important. Seeya!
