Achte auf die hervorgehobenen Teile. Was haben sie gemeinsam?
Hindi is an SOV language. Spelled out, neutral order is subject, time, place, object, verb. But Hindi moves things freely for emphasis, with one hard rule: the verb stays at the end.
The opening slot is what the sentence is about; the slot just before the verb carries the new information. This is why an answer to a question puts the answer immediately before the verb.
Verb-first order occurs in songs and dramatic speech. It is marked, not neutral, and best recognised rather than imitated.
