Any STAR WARS fan would know that Yoda translated his language into ours so he could learn it and that’s how it was translated so that’s how he learned it.
ex. “When 900 years old you reach, look as good you will not.”(Episode 6: Return Of The Jedi) Whereas we would say “You will not look as good when you reach 900 years old.”

I remember my English teachers saying that Yoda had better grammar than most people they’ve met.

Yoda just says the object, verb first, then whether “you have” or “you have not”. Example is, “You have not taken the cat out for a walk” becomes “take the cat out for a walk, you have not”. it in a way lets the receiver know what yoda is talking about first, before yoda adds in the “extra” details.

LOL. Teacher, yours is funnier, you don’t write something “with” correct grammar, you write it “in” correct grammar.

Well, your response is quite funny. Considering that you didn’t write it with correct grammar.

Actually, Yoda uses the basic forms of Latin word order, which is usually anastropic, but not exclusively since in Latin, being an inflected language, most of the “grammar” is taken care of in the word endings. This was chosen purposefully to simultaneously make him ancient and otherworldly feeling in his very speech pattern.

Err, haven’t they done some hiring on the cheezburger network? I would wager that they got some resumes written in lolcat.

I meant, of course, that Yoda participated in a Gangster Rap, as a Gangster Rapper.

(Now, where is that graph about failure to proofread correlating with IQ?)

Joey Y — Tue, 16 Sep 2008 05:16:23 +0000

And, Yoda participated in a Gangster Rapper:
(It appears that graphjam will not let me put links in my post today. To see the Star Wars Gangsta Rap, search for it on Newgrounds [recommended] or Youtube.)

“I’m Yoda, I’m a soldier (sold-ja). I’m low to the floor (flowja), I thought I told ya (toldja). Don’t be unwise, judge me not by my size. You won’t believe your eyes, watch the X-wing rise.”

I came in to say I’m working on my MA in Being Yoda. I wanted to write my thesis in Yodese, but my committee was not exactly receptive.

yoda as an occupation + calling yoda’s grammar bad = win

By: tudza

tudza — Mon, 15 Sep 2008 18:26:14 +0000

If you look at several Yoda sentences, I believe you will find that his sentence structure does wonder around a bit. I don’t think anastrophe covers what he is doing to the English language when he speaks. Nor does he seem to be speaking English with say Japanese sentence structure, some sentence seem to follow that pattern and others don’t.

In any case, I would suggest “Spam email composer” be added to this graph.

What is wrong with Yoda’s grammar? Word placement is considered grammar now?

Also, the Yoda part of this graph has been done here before. People need to read other graphs before they do one.

What are you talking about? Yoda spoke with fine grammar, just in Anastrophe, which gramatically correct. What a lame graph.
