hikkosi no zyunbi ga owarimasita.

It is read:

Hikkoshi no junbi ga owarimashita.

Word by word:

• 引っ越し = hikkoshi
• の = no
• 準備 = junbi
• が = ga
• 終わりました = owarimashita

A natural English pronunciation guide would be something like:

hee-kko-shee no joon-bee ga o-wa-ree-ma-shee-ta

引っ越し means moving or a move, as in changing homes.

It comes from the verb 引っ越す, which means to move house.

In this sentence, 引っ越し is being used as a noun, not as a verb. Japanese often does this with verb stems or related forms.

So:

• 引っ越す = to move
• 引っ越し = moving / a move

Here, 引っ越しの準備 means preparations for moving.

The particle の connects nouns. It often works like of in English, or it turns one noun into a modifier for another noun.

So:

• 引っ越し = moving
• 準備 = preparation

Together:

• 引っ越しの準備 = moving preparations / preparations for moving

You can think of の here as meaning:

• preparation for moving
• or the moving-related preparation

This is a very common pattern in Japanese:

• 旅行の準備 = preparations for a trip
• 試験の準備 = preparations for an exam

が marks the thing that finished.

The verb 終わる means to end or to be finished, and the thing that ends or finishes is often marked with が.

So in this sentence:

• 引っ越しの準備が終わりました
• literally: The preparations for moving finished

Natural English would usually be:

• The preparations for the move are finished
• or I finished preparing for the move, depending on context

Japanese focuses on the preparation as the thing that reached completion, so が is natural here.

This is a very common question.

終わる

• intransitive
• means to end, to be finished

終える

• transitive
• means to finish something

So:

• 準備が終わりました = The preparations are finished / ended
• 準備を終えました = I finished the preparations

Both can be natural, but they focus on slightly different things:

• 終わりました focuses on the state/result
• 終えました focuses more on the person completing the action

In everyday Japanese, 準備が終わりました is very common and sounds natural.

終わりました is the polite past form of 終わる.

Breakdown:

• dictionary form: 終わる
• polite non-past: 終わります
• polite past: 終わりました

Even though it is grammatically past, in English it often translates naturally as:

• has finished
• is finished
• finished

depending on context.

So 引っ越しの準備が終わりました could mean:

• The moving preparations are finished.
• I’ve finished preparing for the move.

Japanese often leaves out the subject when it is understood from context.

This sentence does not explicitly say who did the preparation.

Depending on the situation, it could mean:

• I finished preparing for the move
• We finished preparing for the move
• The moving preparations are complete

Japanese often cares less than English about stating the subject every time. If the speaker is talking about their own move, listeners will usually understand that automatically.

It can mean either, depending on context.

Literally, it is closer to:

• The preparations for moving have finished
• or more natural English: The preparations for the move are finished

But in actual conversation, Japanese often uses this kind of phrasing where English would say:

• I finished preparing for the move

So the sentence can sound a little more objective or result-focused than the English version with I.

Yes, very common.

It simply means preparations for moving and is a natural everyday phrase.

Similar expressions include:

• 旅行の準備 = trip preparations
• 食事の準備 = meal preparation
• 会議の準備 = meeting preparation

So this follows a very common Japanese pattern:

[event / purpose] + の + 準備

Not usually.

Japanese normally says:

• 引っ越しの準備をする = to do preparations for moving

This is because you are not really preparing the move itself directly in this phrasing; you are doing preparations related to the move.

So the natural structure is:

• 引っ越しの準備
• not usually 引っ越しを準備

A very common full sentence would be:

• 引っ越しの準備をしています。
• I’m preparing for the move.

The casual version is:

引っ越しの準備が終わった。

This is the plain past form of 終わる.

Compare:

• 終わりました = polite
• 終わった = casual

You would use 終わりました in polite conversation, and 終わった with friends, family, or in informal speech.

No, normal Japanese writing usually does not use spaces between words.

The standard writing would be:

引っ越しの準備が終わりました。

Spaces are often added in textbooks or beginner materials to make the sentence easier to read.

So both show the same sentence, but the version without spaces is what you would normally see in real Japanese.
