I wake up early in the morning

How it works

Words stack modifier-before-modified: 朝あさ (morning) sets the time, then 早くはやく (early) — the adverb form of 早いはやい (early) — describes how, and the verb 起きるおきる (wake up) lands last. It's the plain dictionary form, so it reads like a personal note or habit rather than a polite statement.
