"Word Order" refers to the order in which words are structured to form a sentence
in a given language.
Consider the English sentence "I ate an apple." But first, let's remove the article
"an" here for simplicity, so we're just left with "I ate apple."
The basic Word Order for English is subject, verb, object, or SVO for short.
English is what is called a "subject-prominent" language.
This simply means that the subject is slightly more important than other components
in the sentence.
It's the key piece of information other components in the sentence relate to.
"Who" is doing the action, is slightly more important than what is being done or
which object it's been done to, in English.
If we had to slowly remove pieces of information from a sentence, while trying to

keep its essence intact, logically we would do so in order of least important to
most important.
Essentially, the "ate an apple" portion, ????????? is the main focus of the
sentence, whereas "I" is deemed less important and can be omitted.
In fact, if it's obvious what the subject is, or if it's already been established,
it's quite normal to omit the subject from the conversation altogether in Japanese.
Less important, is the subject, which is omitted altogether.
Every hiragana character represents a certain sound, but doesn't have meaning by
itself.
Using these hiragana characters, you can write almost any Japanese word.

The Basics of Timing
Japanese is what is called a "mora-timed" language. What this simply means is that
every character in Japanese - which you can think of as a syllable, occupies the
same length of time.
No character takes up more *or* less time than the other characters.
Every character is valued equally and is pronounced evenly throughout.
English, on the other hand, is a "stress-timed" language.

Syllables that are stressed, are valued greater than syllables that are unstressed.
This gives English a "machine-gun" like rhythm, where the pace is sometimes fast,
and at other times, slow.
Because equal value is given to each character, there is no word-stress in

Japanese.
Pronouncing Japanese Characters
There are five characters in Japanese that signify a vowel sound...

????????? (a, i, u, e, o)
Apart from these five characters, all other characters - except for one that we
will cover shortly - is made up of a consonant sound and one of these vowel sounds.
Only ? (n) is kind of special. It's a consonant sound, without a vowel sound.
Now you know the possible sounds that make up a Japanese *character*, but let's
look at ALL the sounds in Japanese collectively.
You already know roughly 80% of ALL sounds in Japanese. That means that if you were
to simply imitate a Japanese speaker, your pronunciation would be correct roughly
80% of the time!
Let's consider the word ??? (wasabi).
This word is often romanized like arigatou.
Focus on the second character, it's often written as an "R" and an "I," but don't
be fooled!
This character isn't pronounced using an English "R" sound at all!
It's like a mixture between an "R" and an "L" sound.
There's no such sound in English, but most people would transcribe this using the
letter "R", because that's the closest equivalent there is in English.
Pronouncing it like an *English* "R", however, would be a huge mistake.
To pronounce this sound, lightly tap the gum ridge behind your upper teeth with the
tip of your tongue.
It should be a quick, striking motion, similar to the sensation you get when
pronouncing the "T" in words like "butter", "cutter" and so on.
Don't roll your tongue like an English R. Most of the air should go around the
sides of your tongue, the same way it would when pronouncing an "L" sound.
This is why many people describe this sound as in-between an "R" and an "L" sound.

Word Order
"Word Order" refers to the order in which words are structured to form a sentence
in a given language.
English is what is called a "subject-prominent" language.
This simply means that the subject is slightly more important than other components
in the sentence.
It's the key piece of information other components in the sentence relate to.
"Who" is doing the action, is slightly more important than what is being done or
which object it's been done to, in English.
If we had to slowly remove pieces of information from a sentence, while trying to

keep its essence intact, logically we would do so in order of least important to
most important.
If we were to omit the subject, we would get "ate an apple" - which sounds strange.
On the other hand, if we were to omit the object *instead*, the sentence would
become "I ate...".
Even though in each instance we omitted a piece of information, the reason "I
ate..." sounds *less* strange, is because we've yet to break any grammatical rules,
and so there's still potential for the sentence fragment to become a complete
sentence and to become grammatically correct.
Since the *latter* is logical, this indicates that the subject is *more* important
than the object in English. The same is true if we had omitted the verb. Since the
subject is the integral component in the sentence, this makes English a "subject-
prominent" language.
*Japanese* on the other hand, is a "Topic-prominent" language
Since Japanese is a "Topic-prominent" language, the information to be shared is the

act of eating the apple.
Less important, is the subject, which is omitted altogether.
In cases where it's obvious who or what the subject is, it's almost guaranteed that
the subject will be omitted.
And so you're left with...

??????????
On the other hand, when it's unclear who or what the subject is, or if you wanted
to place emphasis on the subject, like if you wanted to declare from a group of
people that it was *you* who ate the apple, then you would include the subject.
But more often than not, most sentences spoken in daily Japanese conversation can
be spoken without including the subject at all, particularly if that subject is you
