Verb moves from first to LAST

Arabic loves verb-first (VSO); Japanese demands verb-final — the full mirror image. Consciously hold the verb back until everything else is said.

No gender, dual or agreement

Arabic agreement machinery (gender, dual, plural patterns) has no Japanese counterpart — nouns and verbs never agree with anything. Simpler, but resist marking number when Japanese leaves it unsaid.

Words don’t grow from roots

Don’t hunt for a three-consonant root — Japanese builds vocabulary from kanji compounds and verb stems with suffixes glued on in a fixed order (食べ-させ-られ-た). Learn stems + endings, not patterns.

Particles (は/が/を/に/で)

Particles mark grammatical role — choosing は vs が and を vs に is the core challenge.

Verb-final word order

Japanese is Subject-Object-Verb; the verb always comes last.

Counters

Counting needs the right counter word (一本, 一枚, 一匹) for the object’s shape/type.
