Never have I… (inversion)
ፈጽሞ… (inversion)
Add emphasis in formal English by inverting the subject and verb.
How it works
After some negative or limiting words at the start of a sentence, English uses question word order. This sounds formal and emphatic.

Use inversion in formal writing and speeches. In everyday conversation it can sound too dramatic.
inversionን በመደበኛ ጽሑፍና ንግግሮች ይጠቀሙ፤ በዕለት ንግግር ከልክ በላይ የተጋነነ ሊመስል ይችላል።
