Should be "me rolling they see"

[–]Hero_of_Hyrule 3 points4 points ago

This is the proper OSV construction of the sentence in question.

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 2 points3 points ago

It's slightly more complex than that as if there's an auxiliary it stays at the end but the main verb goes at the front along with the object phrase. VOSAux.

  • Me rollin' they see.
  • seen me rollin' they have.

A short way to say it is that everything after the conjugated verb in a normal English sentence gets fronted. Depending on the sentence that may be only the object, or it may include an infinitive or past participle.

[–]JBu92 1 point2 points ago

Am I the only goddamned person who understands yoda's grammatical structure?
See me rollin' they do.
Hatin' dey be.

[–]dont_press_ctrl-W 2 points3 points ago

You apparently don't understand it either.

Why would you add the "do"? Yoda consistently drops auxiliaries do's everywhere. I don't think he pronounces a single one. e.g. "What know you of ready?" (of course he does pronounce main verb "do" as in "do or do not"; I'm only talking about the auxiliary) So he certainly wouldn't add one to "they see me rollin'". Therefore it's:

Me rolling they see

Yoda also doesn't form his "be" sentences like with other verbs. He reverses the order of the two sides completely.

"The dark side of the Force are they."

"So certain are you."

etc.

So it's going to be either

hating are they

or

hating they

depending on whether you choose to drop the copula like in the original or not.
