Q. Which subject pronoun would you use when talking to your best friend?
Ustedes is used in both places as formal “you all”. (for use with strangers, or people you should show respect to even if you know them). Ellos (ellas if all female) is used when you are talking about them, not to them. In other Spanish speaking countries, you use ellos/or ellas for friends.
Q. Which subject pronoun means you all formal?
Usted
Q. Is Chinese SVO or SOV?
Chinese. Generally, Chinese varieties all feature SVO word order. However, especially in Standard Mandarin, SOV is tolerated as well. There is even a special structure to form an SOV sentence.
Q. Is Japanese SVO or SOV?
Japanese is a SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) language. English is typically SVO (Subject-Verb-Object). In Japanese, the verb always appears at the end of clauses and sentences. Japanese parts of speech are usually marked with words called “particles” that follow the word they modify.
Q. Do Japanese speak backwards?
Yes you read that correctly, the Japanese do indeed speak backwards compared to English, by putting their verb at the end of the sentence and the subject at the beginning. German has the same thing.
Q. Does sentence structure matter in Japanese?
That’s good news for you! It’s just a matter of mastering the sentence structure. When it comes to basic sentence structure, Japanese is a SOV language while English is SVO. SOV means “subject-object-verb.” This is a language where the verb is at the end of the sentence.
Q. Do Japanese read right to left?
When written vertically, Japanese text is written from top to bottom, with multiple columns of text progressing from right to left. When written horizontally, text is almost always written left to right, with multiple rows progressing downward, as in standard English text.
Q. Is Japanese hard to learn?
The Japanese language is considered one of the most difficult to learn by many English speakers. With three separate writing systems, an opposite sentence structure to English, and a complicated hierarchy of politeness, it’s decidedly complex. Keep reading to find out what makes the Japanese language so difficult.
Q. Why are Japanese sentences so long?
The less direct you are, the more words you have to use to get around the point (aka more syllables). Fewer syllables means you run out of words. This is probably why Japanese has so many homonyms, but it’s also why Japanese words tend to be longer and have more syllables in them.
