Yoda
Yoda is a fictional character from the Star Wars franchise—a small, ancient, green-skinned alien who serves as a wise Jedi master.
He is known for his inverted syntax, placing verbs at the end of sentences: Strong with the Force, you are.
Speaking in "Yoda speak" means adopting this distinctive word order, often humorously: Hungry, I am.
