Did you know?

Japanese landmark

The basic word order in Japanese sentences is: subject, object, and verb. The verbs are always placed last in Japanese, and even though Japanese verbs are not conjugated for person or number, verbs are generally conjugated depending on the formality levels you are using. There are three different levels of formality in the Japanese language and those are: casual, polite and formal. This makes Japanese one of the most polite languages in the world and there are a lot of factors that can influence the formality level you need to use. Anything from age to social status can change the way you need to speak and use Japanese.
Another significant and interesting fact about Japanese grammar is the lack of articles. There is simply no difference between 'the’, 'an', and 'a'. Although this is excellent news for non-Japanese speakers like English speakers for example, fluent Japanese speakers are encountering great difficulties when learning a language with articles.
