基本語順 — Basic Word Order
Japanese is an SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) language. The verb always comes at the end.
| English (SVO) | Japanese (SOV) |
|---|---|
| I eat sushi. | 私は すしを 食べます。 |
| I read a book. | 私は 本を 読みます。 |
Key rule: The verb MUST come last. Everything else is relatively flexible because particles mark the role of each word.
Putting the verb in the middle (English SVO habit); Forgetting particles because 'word order should be enough'
私はりんごを食べます。
I eat an apple.
私(I) + は(topic) + りんご(apple) + を(object) + 食べます(eat) — verb at the end
田中さんは毎日日本語を勉強します。
Mr. Tanaka studies Japanese every day.
Time words (毎日) come after the topic or before the object — still verb last
