Why is the verb yedim at the end of the sentence?

Turkish often uses Subject–Object–Verb word order, so the verb commonly comes at the end.

In this sentence:

• Bu sabah = time expression
• bir kivi = object
• yedim = verb

So Turkish puts ate at the end, where English would usually put it earlier.

This is very normal in Turkish:

Turkish word order can change for emphasis, but the verb often stays final.
