They have the so called SOV-structure. This means that they have the Subject (noun/name/pronoun), then the Object (also noun/name/pronoun) and then the Verb. Compare this to the English structure: SVO. They also use particles between some words. 私はおにぎりを食べます - watashi ha onigiri wo tabemasu - I eat riceballs/a riceball the particles are: は - ha, pronounced wa, comes after the subject watashi and before the object onigiri を - wo, pronounced o, comes after the object and before the verb. Of course you can change the sentence a lot. You can use adjectives,not use an object, and in Japanese you don't even have to use a subject if it's obvious who/what you're referring to. As the sentence changes the particles sometimes change as well (there are "ga", "ni", "he", "niwa", "no" and probably more that I can't think of at the moment). This was a very vague explanation! I'm not Japanese myself as you can see, but I've been studing Japanese for a while, and while this makes the grammar sound really weird, it's super easy once you get into it, much easier than any language I've ever studied, like English for example.

I used the virtual keyboard on the website and some of the words such as "structured", "certain", and "way' didn't seem to translate correctly.

Hi, Sigrid's answer is awesome. One thing, please do not write English sentence with Japanese characters, it doesn't make any sense. You can ask simply in English.
