Yeah, I am American but my wife is Japanese and she found it irritating and inexplicable that my friends and I would interrupt each other while talking. This number probably varies significantly by culture.
- SergeAx 7mo agoThis is because in Japanese, the verb (or the main predicate) almost always comes at the very end of the sentence. Half of the time, you have a chance to get the whole phrase wrong. The same, but rarer, may happen in German when a long, complex sentence ends with "nicht", flipping the whole meaning.
