I think german grammar is really diferent from english. For example they make a sandwich with verbs. For example:
I have been in Berlin. vs I have in Berlin been. Its not the exact translation and maybe theres a beter example but its the idea.
Ich bin in berlin gewessen.
There is also all the declinations. But yeah its noy japanese.
- sliverstorm 11y agoSee, "I have in Berlin been" is 100% understandable at least to me... it might even be archaic but valid English grammar.

- jamesknelson 11y agoCompared to Japanese, "I have in Berlin been" almost sounds natural. In Japanese, you'd say "Berlin ni ita", or translating rather literally, "Berlin in was". You'd omit the "I", which can lead to some interesting misunderstandings. Needless to say, Google translate borders on useless here.
