RSVP is an initialism derived from the French phrase "Répondez s'il vous plaît", [1] meaning "Please respond" (literally "Respond, if it pleases you"), to require confirmation of an invitation. The initialism "RSVP" is no longer used much in France, where it is considered formal and old-fashioned.
French also allows for verb-object-subject (VOS) though the usage is relatively rare and various constraints apply. The most common instance of this word order is in more formal texts or in response to questions with a focus on the subject, as opposed to more broad questions such as, Qu’est-ce qui s’est passé? (what happened?).
