Questions & Answers about kenkoushindan ga owatta monono, wakuchinsesshu wa mada owatte inai.
ものの means something like although, even though, or but.
So:
- 健康診断が終わったものの = Although the health checkup is over, ... = The health checkup has finished, but ...
It connects two facts that contrast with each other. In this sentence, the contrast is:
- one thing is finished
- the other thing is still not finished
Compared with けど or が, ものの sounds a bit more formal and often appears more in writing or careful speech.
Because ものの attaches to a plain clause.
Here, the clause is:
- 健康診断が終わった = the health checkup ended / has finished
Then ものの is added to that full clause:
- 健康診断が終わったものの = although the health checkup has finished
This is a common pattern:
- Verb (plain form) + ものの
- い-adjective + ものの
- na-adjective / noun + であるものの in more formal styles
So 終わったものの is grammatically normal.
