People in general say that Japanese language is very difficult, but it might not be so. As English speaker should know that there are 5 kinds of sentences you can make.
Today, I will introduce you one of the sentences that you might use the most, which is S＋V＋O.
S= subject
V= verb
O= object
In Japanese, when it comes to a casual conversation, the order doesn't matter. It can be V＋O＋S or O＋S＋V or any other possible orders.
Subjects
I= watashi wa
You= anata wa
He= kare wa
She= kanojyo wa
We= watashitachi wa
They= karera wa
It= sore wa
Objects (add ni/wo to a noun)
Park= kouen ni/wo
apple= ringo ni/wo
watch= udedokei ni/wo
present= purezento ni/wo
Verbs
eat= taberu
give= ageru
buy= kau
get= morau
Now let's combine them together to make up sentences!
1. watashi wa ringo wo taberu. (usually add wo to a direct object) ★I eat an apple.
Ringo wo watashi wa taberu.
taberu ringo wo watashi wa.
2. watashitachi wa udedokei wo kau. ★I buy a watch.
Udedokei wo watashitachi wa kau.
Kau udedokei wo watashitachi wa.
3. Kare wa purezento wo morau. ★He gets a present.
Purezento wo morau kare wa.
Morau kare wa purezento wo.
There are other possibilities of combinations, but it wouldn't make much difference even with a different orders.
Let me recap on the points in details.
1. Add subjects wa
2. Add direct obects(the noun right after the verb) wo
3. combine S,V and O together without worrying about the orders.
So, that's it! You can speak Japanese casually if you know this! Just try to remember the words I mentioned above first!
