Questions & Answers about shouhin no miryoku o setsumeishita.

How do you read each part of 商品 の 魅力 を 説明した?

A natural reading is:

• 商品 = しょうひん
• の = の
• 魅力 = みりょく
• を = を (pronounced お in normal speech)
• 説明した = せつめいした

So the whole sentence is read:

しょうひん の みりょく を せつめいした。

What does の do in 商品の魅力?

の connects two nouns. Here it shows that 魅力 belongs to, relates to, or is about 商品.

So:

• 商品 = product / merchandise
• 魅力 = charm / appeal / attractive points
• 商品の魅力 = the product’s appeal / the appeal of the product

This is one of the most common uses of の: noun + の + noun.

Why is を attached to 魅力 and not to 商品?
