Questions & Answers about shourijouken o kakuninsuru.

Why is を used after 勝利条件?

を marks the direct object of the verb.
Here, the thing being checked/confirmed is 勝利条件, so 勝利条件を確認する means that 勝利条件 is what gets confirmed.

• 勝利条件 = the victory conditions / win conditions
• を = direct object marker
• 確認する = to check / confirm

So the structure is basically:

[object] を [verb]

Why is the verb 確認する at the end?

Japanese is usually an SOV language, which means the verb often comes at the end of the sentence.

So instead of English word order like:

Check the victory conditions

Japanese puts the action last:

勝利条件を確認する

This verb-final structure is one of the most important basic patterns in Japanese.

Why is it 確認する and not 確認します?

確認する is the dictionary form (plain form) of the verb.

This form is commonly used in:

• headings
• instructions
• labels
• game menus
• written notes
• casual/plain style

So in a game, guide, or objective list, 勝利条件を確認する。 can sound like a neutral instruction such as Check the victory conditions.

If you wanted a more polite sentence, you could say:

勝利条件を確認します。

If you wanted a more polite request/command:

勝利条件を確認してください。
