Yoda grammar!

That's right- Lord La Forge mentioned that we should start a different thread for it, so here it is now: The Yoda Grammar page which will probably wind up going off on a tangent about which bugs and bat-things on Degobah are best to eat, but its all good! Yoda grammar mode comenses in 5, 4, 3, 2, 1, 0! Yoda-style grammar time for, it is!

No point this thread has. Corrupted by spam it will become! In grave danger the Rebellion forums are...

History is on the move, Captain. Those who cannot keep up with it will be left behind, to watch from a distance. And those who stand in our way will not watch at all.

Well.... umm.... Yeah, point you have there, admit to it I must. But maybe some a savior shall come with better Yoda grammar than all of us and give this thread purpous. (Hangs head in shame for not being this savior, spots a cheese sandwich on the ground and eats it in moment of joy before becoming sober again).

Not grammerically correct you internal monolog was. Correct it you must!.

 

Serious I am. What point is there to this thread? A discussion to the best way to emulate Yoda it should be.

In my opinion, number two. But just me, that is. Here's something I've always wondered- is Yoda's grammar simply based on another languages grammar? Like if you speak Czech or something and watched a translated version of Empire Strikes Back, would Yoda be using perfectly accpetable grammar or something? Or was it just Lucas's idea of being funny by making up a random grammar structure.

Love you too I do, Tex :lol: *

warm and fuzzy feel I inside. But yeah, like Rob said... lol, I wonder if the grammar even is messed up in other languages when it gets translated.

 

*Not really. I actually hate your guts. I will eat your unhappiness! :lol:

No actually yours is probably more incorrect than mine Tofu. Yoda doesn't dramatically reverse everything. If you compare the way Yoda speaks and proper German grammar they are remarkably similar, so yeah. Just study that, and become proficient you will.

Yoda simply replaces the lcation of the Subject and Predicate within a sentence. Yoda also never usees exclamatory additions such as "oh dear God", so that sentence is especially difficult to translate. It would be more along the lines of "Dear god, of my life what has become?" I think most people are making his sentence structure too complex.

Huh? Hold on, I thought that the English grmmar structure was identical to German! 8O Are they just really similar?

Granted is your wish. Focus all my unhappiness into hurricane Wilma does I. Send it your way I will. Enjoy! :twisted:

Oh, you bastard... I'm going to laugh when Wilma veers away, develops into a category six gillion hurricane, and completely irradicates all of Texas before stopping at the state line.

Tofu, believe I do that the grammar of the German language would look, it would, like a backwards sentence of English.

People, reverse the Subject and Predecate in the sentence. For example Aenivae's last post would look like this:

 

Tofu, believe that the grammer of the German language looks like backwards English do I.

 

You guys are trying too hard.

Umm... This is the part where the hurricane suddenly dies and melts to nothingness, never to kill me... Come on... Come on...
