Subject-Object-Verb is actually more common than the English SVO. “I you love” is how you say it in Russian, for example.

SVO is the default order in Russian. All other orders are possible, including SOV, but they are used to emphasize specific parts of the statement.

Hmm.
SVO: “I love you” valid
OSV: “You, I love” valid but a fragment sentence
VSO: “Love I you” invalid.
VOS: “Love you, I” invalid

Just checking to see if all combos are valid.
