Questions & Answers about saitei ryoukin o kakuninshita.

How is this sentence read out loud?

It is read:

さいてい りょうきん を かくにんした。

In normal writing, it would usually appear without spaces:

最低料金を確認した。

Why are 最低 and 料金 separated here? Is 最低料金 one word?

Yes, in this sentence 最低料金 functions as one noun phrase meaning minimum fee / lowest charge.

The spaces are likely just there to help learners see the parts:

• 最低 = minimum / lowest
• 料金 = fee / charge / fare

In ordinary Japanese writing, spaces are usually not used, so you would normally see:

最低料金を確認した。

What does 最低 mean here? Does it mean the worst?

Here, 最低 means minimum or lowest.

That is different from the conversational use of 最低 meaning awful or the worst.

For example:

• 最低料金 = minimum fee
• あいつは最低だ。 = He’s the worst.

So the meaning depends on context. In this sentence, because it comes before 料金, it clearly means minimum / lowest.
