Questions & Answers about motikomisyuuri to hikitorisyuuri no buhindai to gizyuturyou wo kakuninsimasu.
How do you read this sentence?
A natural reading is:
もちこみしゅうり と ひきとりしゅうり の ぶひんだい と ぎじゅつりょう を かくにんします。
Word by word:
- 持込修理 = もちこみしゅうり
- 引き取り修理 = ひきとりしゅうり
- 部品代 = ぶひんだい
- 技術料 = ぎじゅつりょう
- 確認します = かくにんします
A small note: 持込 is a shortened written form of 持ち込み, so the reading is still もちこみ.
What kind of words are 持込修理 and 引き取り修理? Are they full clauses?
Why is it 持込 instead of 持ち込み?
This is a very common style in business writing, notices, forms, and headings.
- Full form: 持ち込み
- Shortened form: 持込
Japanese often drops some kana in compact written expressions, especially in labels or administrative language. So:
- 持ち込み修理 and 持込修理 mean the same thing.
- The reading is still もちこみしゅうり.
This sentence looks a bit like the kind of wording you would see on a service form or internal memo, so the shortened style fits.
What does の do in this sentence?
Here, の links the repair types to the costs/fees.
The structure is:
[持込修理 と 引き取り修理] の [部品代 と 技術料] を 確認します。
So の means something like:
- for
- of
- related to
In natural English, you would understand it as:
- the parts cost and labor charge for carry-in repair and pickup repair
Also, の applies to both 部品代 and 技術料, not just the first one.
Why are there two と particles?
Because と is joining two separate pairs of nouns.
持込修理 と 引き取り修理
= carry-in repair and pickup repair部品代 と 技術料
= parts cost and technical/labor fee
So the sentence has this pattern:
A と B の C と D を 確認します。
That means:
- check C and D for A and B
This is a very normal Japanese way to pack several related items into one sentence.
Why is there only one を even though there are two things being checked?
What is the difference between 部品代 and 技術料?
They refer to two different kinds of charges:
- 部品代 = the cost of the parts
- 技術料 = the service/labor/technical fee
So if something is repaired, the total cost may be divided into:
- the price of the replacement parts
- the fee for the repair work itself
This kind of wording is common in repair, maintenance, and customer service contexts.
Why does one word use 代 and the other use 料?
Both 代 and 料 can relate to money, but they are used differently depending on the word.
- 代 often means the price/cost of a thing
- 部品代 = cost of the parts
- 料 often means a fee/charge for a service
- 技術料 = technical/service fee
So the distinction matches the meaning:
- parts are things you pay the cost of
- technical work is a service you pay a fee for
This is not a rule you can apply mechanically to every noun, but it is a useful pattern to notice.
What nuance does 確認します have here? Is it confirm or check?
In this kind of sentence, 確認します usually means check or verify.
Possible English translations include:
- I will check
- We will check
- I will confirm
- We will verify
The exact best choice depends on context. In service or office Japanese, 確認する is used very often for making sure information is correct.
So here it does not necessarily mean that the speaker already knows the answer and is merely agreeing with it. It often means they are going to look into it.
Why is 確認します in the -ます form?
確認します is the polite non-past form of 確認する.
- dictionary form: 確認する
- polite form: 確認します
The -ます form is standard in:
- customer service
- office speech
- announcements
- formal conversation
The non-past form here can mean:
- present habitual
- near future
- intention/promise depending on context
In this sentence, it most naturally means something like will check.
Is the subject missing? Who is doing the checking?
Yes, the subject is omitted, which is very normal in Japanese.
The sentence does not explicitly say:
- I
- we
- the staff
- the company
Japanese often leaves out information that is obvious from context. In a service context, 確認します usually implies something like:
- I will check
- We will check
The listener is expected to understand the subject from the situation.
Does this sentence mean checking one combined price, or checking separate charges?
It normally suggests checking the separate categories of charges:
- 部品代 = parts cost
- 技術料 = labor/service fee
So the focus is not just on one final total, but on the breakdown.
It can also imply comparison across the two repair methods:
- charges for 持込修理
- charges for 引き取り修理
Exactly how detailed the comparison is depends on the wider context, but grammatically the sentence clearly points to those fee categories rather than only a single grand total.
Why are there spaces between the words here? Is that normal Japanese writing?
No, normal Japanese is usually written without spaces.
The standard written sentence would be:
持込修理と引き取り修理の部品代と技術料を確認します。
Spaces are often added only in learning materials to make the structure easier to see. So the spaced version is helpful for study, but not the usual real-world style.
