I always presumed Yoda's native language was an Object Subject Verb (OSV) language, or used OSV for emphasis. It's common for 2nd language speakers to occasionally slip into native language grammar - such as Chinese speakers omitting the/a.

Yoda can correctly use SVO in English (Galactic Common iirc?), just not all the time. Again suggesting a proficient non-native speaker. For example: ”Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”

Yaddle doesn't speak like Yoda, indicating either better fluency or an SVO native language - not all the species need speak the same native language.

Yoda is also ~300 years older than Yaddle, depending on the canon. We also know Yoda is a teacher, so he may be more used to speaking in riddles and as a result developed different speaking habits.

Basically there is a lot of time for things to set in and change.

Yoda is actually a grammar purist using correct Basic grammar from 500 years ago. He'll never given in to the degenerated mob!

Young people these days. No respect.

We do know there was a second of Yoda's species in the Order- Yaddle.

Giggity Giggity.

Yaddle also doesnt speak like Yoda lmao

With only a sample of two… it’s hard to say who’s the strange one. It’s possible Yoda (or Yaddle) used the same speech coach as Schwarzenegger

Just to say, but baby Yoda has been for 60 years running around the Jedi temples.

Yoda is Baby Yodas father *from the future*. Yoda went back in time and fucked Minch(also Yoda. Bisexual reproduction). He is a paradox and only exists in timelines in which Yoda fucked other versions of himself

Yes, yes, Heinlein's "All You Zombies" was written in 1958 and "By His Bootstraps" in '41.

It's all been done... Before! --BNL

I love all of your references. Good work.

BTW, there's a community called !the_heinlein_society@lemmy.world if you're interested.

Thanks! I'm pretty fond of Heinlein, so I'll check it out.

This comment is perfect. Also I thi k it's why we don't have healthcare. Or maybe why we need it
