> 2. Word order. Again in German, "Ich habe meine Frau gebraucht" (I brought my wife). You don't know the verb until the end. For reference, the kill version is the fairly sane "umgebraucht".
"Ich habe meine Frau gebraucht" -> "I have needed my wife".
brauchen -> to need
bringen -> to bring; Partizip II: gebracht
umbringen -> to kill; Partzip II: umgebracht
There is no word "umbrauchen", of which the fictional Partizip II would be "umgebraucht".
