Questions & Answers about shouhin o konpoushimasu.

How do you read 商品 を 梱包します?

It’s read:

• 商品 → しょうひん (shōhin)
• を → お (even though it is written を, in modern Japanese it is pronounced like お)
• 梱包します → こんぽうします (konpō shimasu)

So the whole sentence is:

しょうひん を こんぽうします。

What does the particle を do here?

を marks the direct object of the verb — in other words, the thing that the action is done to.

Here:

• 商品 = the item(s), merchandise, goods
• を = marks that item as the object
• 梱包します = pack / package

So 商品を means the goods/items as the thing being packed.

For an English speaker, you can think of を as showing what receives the action of the verb.
