Japanese sentence structure
Hi I was wondering how a japanese sentence is made.. Could not find a short and explaining tutorial
Also when to use -san in a sentence :)
ミラさんの顔は可愛いと思います。
Mira san no kao wa kawaii to omoimasu.
I think Mila's face is cute.
{person} no {subject} wa {adjective} to omoimasu.
ミラさんは高い人ですか?
Mira san wa takai hito desu ka?
Is Mira san a tall person?
{subject} ha {adjective} desu ka?
青山さんは猫さんが欲しいです。
Aoyama san wa neko san ga hoshii desu.
Aoyama wants a cat.
{subject} wa {object} ga {verb} desu.
"-san" is a honorific which is attached at the end of a person's name. If it is a Japanese name then you usually say the surname first. For example, if the name is Tomoko (first name) Kato (surname) then Japanese say "Kato Tomoko". If you say her name then you say Kato Tomoko-san.
Example for a sentence:
"智子さんを探しています."
Tomoko-san [智子さん] o sagashiteimasu.
I am looking for Tomoko-san.

When you say "-san", I assume you mean the honorific? if you do, it should be attached directly to the end of a person's name, especially in formal situations. (if its very formal,there is a separate honorific)
