SOV

Literal Translation
Subject-Object-Verb word order — the grammatical structure of both Japanese and Korean, where the verb comes at the end of the sentence. English is SVO. The shift to SOV means holding the sentence in suspension until the final word. Disorienting at first. Natural after a while.
