Yoda's English ( in the film "Star Wars")
Hello, everyone!
"Star Wars" is one of my favourite films. It's a masterpiece.
In the film, Master Yoda, one of the key characters, speaks interesting English.(Well...at least to me.
)
"Powerful you have become, Dooku. The darkside I sense in you."
"Much to learn you still have." Yoda Fight Scenes - YouTube
Complement + Subject + Verb
Object + Subject + Verb
These are the patterns Master Yoda uses.
I thought it was a kind of 'inversion' to make it sound more formal, but...it is not.
As long as his utterances are comprehensible, it's fine with me.
However, just out of curiosity, is his English grammatical?
Thank you in advance!

Grammatical, they are. Normal, they are not.

Or even, "Yoda's English very amusing I am finding".

Easy the words to copy it is, yes, but the voice more challenging it is.
