Unlike Standard German, Yiddish normally has verb forms before Objects (SVO order), and in embedded clauses has conjunction followed by V2 order. {|cellspacing="8" ||||Front(Subject)||Finite verb||||||||Conjunction||Front(Subject)||Finite verb|| |- ||a.||ikh||hob||||gezen||mitvokh,||az||ikh||vel||nit||kenen||kumen||donershtik |- ||||I||have||||seen||Wednesday||that||I|||will||not||can||come||Thursday||...||'I saw on Wednesday that I wouldn't be able to come on Thursday.' |- ||||Front(Adverbial)||Finite verb||Subject||||||Conjunction||Front(Adverbial)||Finite verb||Subject |- ||b.|| mitvokh||hob||ikh|||gezen,||||az||donershtik||vel||ikh||nit||kenen||kumen |- ||||Wednesday||have||I||seen||||that||Thursday|||will||I||not||can||come||...||On Wednesday I saw that on Thursday I wouldn't be able to come.' |- |} V2 in root clauses One type of embedded clause with V2 following the conjunction is found throughout the Germanic languages, although it is more common in some than it is others. These are termed root clauses. They are declarative content clauses, the direct objects of so-called bridge verbs, which are understood to quote a statement. For that reason, they exhibit the V2 word order of the equivalent direct quotation. Danish Items other than the subject are allowed to appear in front position. {|cellspacing="8" |||||||Conjunction||Front(Subject)||||Finite verb|| |- ||a.||Vi||ved||at||Bo||ikke||har||læst||denne bog |- ||||We||know||that||Bo||not||has||read||this book||...||'We know that Bo has not read this book.' |- |||||||Conjunction||Front(Object)||Finite verb||Subject |- ||b.||Vi||ved||at||denne bog||har||Bo||ikke||læst |- ||||We||know||that|| this book ||has|||Bo||not||read||...||'We know that Bo has not read this book.' |- |} Swedish Items other than the subject are occasionally allowed to appear in front position. Generally, the statement must be one with which the speaker agrees. {|cellspacing="8" |||||||Conjunction||Front(Adverbial)||Finite verb||Subject |- ||d.||Jag||tror||att||i det fallet||har||du||rätt |- ||||I||think||that|| in that respect ||have|||you||right||...||'I think that in that respect you are right.' |- |} This order is not possible with a statement with which the speaker does not agree. {|cellspacing="8" |||||||||Conjunction||Front(Adverbial)||Finite verb||Subject |- ||e.||*Jag||tror||inte||att||i det fallet||har||du||rätt||||||(The asterisk signals that the sentence is not grammatically acceptable.) |- ||||I||think||not||that|| in that respect ||have|||you||right||...||'I don't think that in that respect you are right.' |- |} Norwegian {|cellspacing="8" |||||||Conjunction||Front(Adverbial)||Finite verb||Subject |- ||f.||hun||fortalte||at||til fødselsdagen||hadde||hun||fått||kunstbok|||| ||(Bokmål variety) |- ||||she||told||that||for her birthday||had'||she||received||art-book||...||'She said that for her birthday she had been given a book on art.' |- |} German Root clause V2 order is possible only when the conjunction dass is omitted. In such cases, formal usage also places the finite verb form into the present subjunctive (German Konjunktiv I) if the verb form is clearly distinguishable from the indicative; if not, the past subjunctive (German Konjunktiv II) is used. {|cellspacing="8" |||||||Conjunction||Front(Subject)||Finite verb |- ||g.||*Er||behauptet,||dass||er||hat||es||zur Post||gebracht||||||(The asterisk signals that the sentence is not grammatically acceptable.) |- ||h.||Er||behauptet,||||er||habe||es||zur Post||gebracht |- ||||he||claims||(that)||he||has||it||to the post office||taken||...||'He claims that he took it to the post office.' |- | |} By contrast, a form
