syuuritantousya ga kosyoukasyo wo mitukemasita.

It is read as しゅうりたんとうしゃ が こしょうかしょ を みつけました.

More specifically:

• 修理担当者 = しゅうりたんとうしゃ
• が
• 故障箇所 = こしょうかしょ
• を
• 見つけました = みつけました

In normal Japanese writing, it would usually be written without spaces as:

修理担当者が故障箇所を見つけました。

The spaces are just for learners. Standard Japanese normally does not put spaces between words like English does.

So this sentence is usually written as:

修理担当者が故障箇所を見つけました。

Textbooks and learning materials often add spaces to make it easier to see the parts of the sentence.

Here is the breakdown:

• 修理担当者 = the repair person, repair staff member, or technician in charge of repairs
• が = marks the subject
• 故障箇所 = the faulty part, the place/point where the malfunction is
• を = marks the direct object
• 見つけました = found

So the structure is:

subject + object + verb

That is very common in Japanese.

が marks 修理担当者 as the grammatical subject, the person who performed the action of finding.

So in this sentence:

• 修理担当者が = the repair person is the one who found it

For a beginner, the easiest way to think about が here is:

• が = marks who did the action

It often appears in neutral descriptions of events, especially when introducing who did something.

Yes, は is possible, but the nuance changes.

• 修理担当者が故障箇所を見つけました。

  • Focuses more on who found it
  • A neutral event statement
  • Can sound like identifying the subject

• 修理担当者は故障箇所を見つけました。

  • Makes 修理担当者 the topic
  • Feels more like as for the repair person, they found the faulty part
  • Can imply contrast depending on context

At an early stage, it is enough to remember:

• が = subject marker
• は = topic marker

を marks the direct object of the verb.

The verb 見つける means to find, and the thing that is found is the direct object.

So:

• 故障箇所を見つけました
• found the faulty part / found the trouble spot

A simple way to remember it:

• を often marks what someone does something to
• with 見つける, it marks what was found

Because 見つける and 見る mean different things.

• 見る = to see, to look at
• 見つける = to find, to discover, to spot

So:

• 見ました would mean saw or looked at
• 見つけました means found

In this sentence, the idea is not just that the repair person saw the faulty spot. It is that they located or discovered it. That is why 見つけました is the natural choice.

見つけました is the polite past affirmative form of 見つける.

Forms of the same verb:

• dictionary form: 見つける = to find
• polite non-past: 見つけます = find / will find
• polite past: 見つけました = found
• plain past: 見つけた = found

So this sentence is polite and states a completed action in the past.

Because these are noun compounds, which are very common in Japanese, especially in more formal or technical vocabulary.

For example:

• 修理担当者

  • 修理 = repair
  • 担当者 = person in charge
  • together: person in charge of repairs

• 故障箇所

  • 故障 = malfunction, breakdown
  • 箇所 = place, point, location
  • together: the point/location of the malfunction

Japanese often combines nouns directly like this, especially with Sino-Japanese vocabulary.

You may also see phrases with の, such as:

• 修理の担当者
• 故障の箇所

These are not impossible, but the compound versions sound more compact and more natural in technical or workplace language.

It can mean the spot, location, section, or part where the malfunction exists.

So depending on context, it could be translated as:

• faulty part
• trouble spot
• problem area
• location of the malfunction

箇所 literally refers to a place or point, but in practical English this often becomes part or spot.

So if a machine has a broken section, 故障箇所 is the section where the problem was found.

Yes. Japanese word order is more flexible than English because particles show each word’s role.

For example, this is also possible:

故障箇所を修理担当者が見つけました。

It still means basically the same thing, because:

• 故障箇所を = the thing found
• 修理担当者が = the person who found it

However, the most neutral and beginner-friendly order is:

修理担当者が故障箇所を見つけました。

That follows the common Japanese pattern:

subject + object + verb

Japanese does not have articles like English a, an, and the.

So 修理担当者 could mean:

• a repair person
• the repair person

And 故障箇所 could mean:

• a faulty part
• the faulty part

Which one is meant depends on context.

That is very normal in Japanese. You usually understand whether something is specific or general from the situation, not from an article.
