proper noun
- A wise, elderly Jedi Master in the Star Wars franchise.
- Denoting an odd or eccentric word order, as typified by Yoda in lines such as: "Into exile I must go. Failed I have." You translated the words correctly, but the sentences are very Yoda-like. Perhaps you should review your grammar.
