It is read:
この しゅうり は ほしょうたいしょう です。
A few notes:
は here is the topic particle. It marks この修理 as the topic of the sentence:
In this use, は is pronounced wa, not ha. That is one of the standard quirks of Japanese grammar.
So the structure is roughly:
修理 means repair.
Depending on context, it can refer to:
So この修理 could mean:
In English, the most natural translation depends on context, but grammatically it is simply this repair.
保証対象 is a compound noun.
It is made from:
Together, 保証対象 means something like:
So この修理は保証対象です means that this repair falls under warranty coverage.
There is no particle there. 保証対象 is a compound noun.
Japanese often combines nouns directly:
This is very common in formal, business, technical, and administrative Japanese.
You can think of it as similar to English noun compounds like:
So the sentence is not missing anything; 保証対象 functions as one noun-like expression.
Because 保証対象 is being treated as a noun / noun phrase, and です is the polite copula: is / am / are.
So:
Using あります would mean exists/is located, which is not what this sentence is doing.
Using なります would mean becomes, which would change the meaning:
But here the sentence simply states the current status, so です is the natural choice.
Not exactly word-for-word, but it is very close in meaning.
More literally, 保証対象です means:
Natural English translations include:
The best English wording depends on the situation, but the Japanese is a normal way to state warranty eligibility.
Yes, but the nuance changes.
この修理は保証対象です
This presents this repair as the topic and states something about it. It sounds neutral and standard.
この修理が保証対象です
This puts stronger focus on this repair as the specific one that is covered, often in contrast with others.
For example:
So は is more natural for a basic statement, while が often adds focus or contrast.
In casual conversation, yes, it can be omitted:
This sounds blunt, clipped, or conversational, and is more likely in speech, notes, or informal workplace talk.
But in normal polite speech, especially in customer service or business contexts, です is much more appropriate:
Since warranty language often appears in formal settings, the version with です is the standard one to learn.
It is polite-neutral and fairly common in customer service, business, and technical contexts.
Why it sounds formal-ish:
In very casual everyday conversation, a person might say something less technical, depending on context, such as:
But この修理は保証対象です。 sounds natural and appropriate in official or service-related language.
Because Japanese often uses compressed noun phrases.
Breakdown:
English often needs extra words like by, for, or under, but Japanese can express the same idea more compactly through noun compounds.
So even though English says:
Japanese says something structurally closer to:
That sounds unnatural in English, but it helps explain why the Japanese is so compact.
No. Standard Japanese writing normally does not use spaces between words.
The usual written form is:
この修理は保証対象です。
Spaces are often added only:
So the spaced version is helpful for learners, but not the standard way Japanese is written.
