What are the main grammatical differences between French and Japanese?

French typically follows SVO (Subject-Verb-Object) using the Latin (with accents: é, è, ê, ç) script, whereas Japanese follows SOV (Subject-Object-Verb) written in the Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana script. AboutOK's neural engine automatically handles word reordering, verb conjugation, and grammatical gender between both languages.
