Questions & Answers about hoshoukikan o kakuninshita okage de, shuuri ga hoshoutaishou da to wakarimashita.
A natural breakdown is:
- 保証期間を確認した = checked the warranty period
- おかげで = thanks to that / because of that
- 修理が保証対象だ = the repair is covered by the warranty
- と分かりました = I found out / I learned that
So the whole sentence means something like:
Thanks to checking the warranty period, I found out that the repair is covered by the warranty.
A more literal version would be:
Because I checked the warranty period, I understood that the repair is a warranty-covered item.
おかげで means thanks to ..., because of ..., or owing to ..., and it usually has a positive or favorable nuance.
So:
- 保証期間を確認したおかげで = thanks to checking the warranty period
This suggests that checking the warranty period led to a useful or good result.
Compare:
- おかげで = thanks to, with a positive feeling
- せいで = because of, often with a negative result
So if the outcome were bad, せいで might be used instead.
