these are apparently subject–object–verb (SOV) languages where the verb comes after the object, so the word for define comes after the block being defined
if scratch were text based, my guess is maybe there is a non-breaking space after define that needs to be present before it in SOV languages
in any event, yeah there shouldn't be a line break
