Sentence Structure
Japanese sentence structure is fundamentally different from English. The Main Verb always comes at the end.
SOV (Subject - Object - Verb)
Subject
Watashi wa
(I)
→
Object
Sushi o
(Sushi)
→
Verb
Taberu
(Eat)
"I eat sushi" becomes "I sushi eat".
Modifying Clauses
In Japanese, you modify a noun by placing a verb phrase directly in front of it. No "that", "which", or "who" is needed.
English
The person who is eating sushi.
Japanese
Sushi o taberu hito.
(Sushi-eating person)
