I am posting this here because I really need some confirmation.
I have been reading a LOT and what I got out of it all are my following questions and these are the answers I received and I am VERY grateful for the person who answered my post.
I hope that anyone who reads this will verify or correct ANYTHING(if anything)!
OR ADD something if need be!
((My questions - Answers given))
1. When creating a sentence in Japanese.
Subject - Object - Verb
EX. kore wa hon desu - this is a book.
1. Yes, that’s most common, but not 100% set in stone.
2. But what about more complex sentences?
"Focus" wa "Time" "Object" o "Verb"-masu
EX. Candace-san wa mainichi mizu o nomumasu. - Candace drinks water everyday.
2. Yes, it’s alright, and probably the most natural order. But again, not set in stone.
Is all that right?
3. Also, can you put a sentence in any order and it mean the same thing as long as there is a verb at the end(and all particles are used correctly)?
3. In theory, yes, though the nuance may change, and it may become less natural.
NOW ABOUT KANJI.
On yomi and Kun yomi
4. Most compounds are read with on-yomi?
4. Most, but there are many exceptions.
5. Kanji in compounds accompanied by hiragana are almost always read with their Kun-yomi?
5. Depends on what you mean by “accompanied,” but yes, basically.
6. Kanji that appears alone(not part of a compound in a sentence) are usually read with kun-yomi?
6. Depends on what you mean. If it’s a compound that’s not directly joined to hiragana, yes, usually *basically the same as question no. 4). But if it’s a single character that’s a word by itself, it’s at least as likely to be kun-yomi.
