I am not sure what you mean but i will try to answer. English is an SVO (Subject, Verb, Object) language, like most other languages. Meaning the Subject is always at the beginning of the sentence. Questions in English are, unlike other Germanic languages, are still SVO, instead of changing to VSO. For example: Subject Verb Object / Question: Subject Verb Object I eat fish / Do I eat fish? you eat fish / Do you eat fish? here is what it is in Swedish and Finnish Subject Verb Object / Question: Verb Subject Object Jag äter fiske / Äter jag fiske? Du äter fiske / Äter du fiske? Minä syön kala / Syönkö minä kala? Sinä syöt kala / Syötkö sinä kala? Hope that explained it well enough for you.

What is you love yourself in black American English?

Black American English is not a language, If you are speaking of Black people in America you should refer to them as African Americans if anything, and if they are English speaking African Americans as your question seems to pose then they " you love yourself " would be " you love yourself " Either you are leading your question in hopes of a racist answer that you may find funny and no one else will or you really need to educate yourself. Sorry if the truth hurts.
