English uses a subject-verb-object syntactic order (‘I eat pizza’), but the most common syntactic order of all the world’s languages is subject-object-verb (‘I pizza eat’). The rarest order, found in less than 0.5% of all languages, is object-subject-verb (‘Pizza I eat’).

German has the ability to flip that to stress the first word. “Ich bin müde” (I am tired) can be rendered “Müde bin ich” when you want to say that you are really tired.
