Basic Grammar rules

English is a adjective-noun-language. This means the Adjective (Describing Word) comes before the Noun (Subject) and the Noun, before the verb (doing)

Eg.

The big   man   went  to Brittany.
(adj.)  (noun) (verb) 

Breton on the other hand is a noun-adjective-language, which means that the noun comes before the adjective.

Eg.

   An       den       bras      a zo aet  da Vreizh.
(article)  (noun)  (adjective)  (verb)    da Vreizh.

Literally: The man big went to Brittany.
