kono madori nara, tukue to beddo wo betubetu no basyo ni okemasu.

この間取りなら means something like if it’s this layout or with this floor plan.

The particle なら presents a condition or assumption based on a topic that is already being considered. It often has the nuance of:

• if we’re talking about this one
• as for this case
• given this condition

So here, この間取りなら sets up the idea:

• If the room/apartment has this layout, ...
• With this particular layout, ...

It sounds natural when comparing layouts or discussing whether furniture will fit.

間取り is read まどり.

It refers to the layout or floor plan of a room, apartment, or house: how the space is arranged.

Examples:

• 部屋の間取り = the layout of a room
• アパートの間取り = an apartment floor plan

In this sentence, it refers to the arrangement of the room in a way that affects where furniture can be placed.

Because 机とベッド is being treated as one combined object phrase: the desk and the bed.

So:

• 机とベッドを置けます = can place the desk and the bed

The particle と joins the two nouns, and the single を marks the whole combined phrase as the direct object of 置けます.

You could think of it like English:

• I can place [the desk and the bed].

Not:

• I can place the desk and can place the bed
  unless you restructured the sentence.

Here, 別々 means separate or separately.

In 別々の場所, it is modifying the noun 場所 (place), so it uses の:

• 別々の場所 = separate places / different places

This is similar to how many noun-like or adjectival words connect to another noun with の.

So the phrase means:

• in separate places
• in different spots

Both are natural, but they focus slightly differently.

• 別々に置けます = can place them separately
• 別々の場所に置けます = can place them in separate places

The version in your sentence is a little more explicit because it mentions 場所 directly. It emphasizes that the desk and bed do not have to go in the same area.

So:

• 別々に focuses on the manner: separately
• 別々の場所に focuses on the locations: in separate places

Because 置く means to place/put, and the particle に marks the destination or location where something is placed.

So:

• 場所に置く = to place something in/at a place

In this sentence:

• 別々の場所に置けます = can place them in separate places

Compare:

• 机を部屋に置く = put the desk in the room
• 本をテーブルの上に置く = put the book on the table

The に marks the location where the object ends up.

置けます is the potential form of 置きます.

• 置きます = put/place
• 置けます = can put/can place

So the sentence is not just saying that someone will place the desk and bed there. It is saying that the layout makes it possible to place them separately.

That fits the meaning well:

• With this layout, you can place the desk and bed in separate places.

It does both.

• 置く = dictionary form
• 置ける = plain potential form, can place
• 置けます = polite potential form, can place

So 置けます is:

1. polite, and
2. expressing possibility/ability

If you made it plain:

• この間取りなら、机とベッドを別々の場所に置ける。

That would sound less formal/casual.

Yes, depending on context.

In this sentence, なら is closest to:

• if
• given
• with
• as for

Natural translations include:

• If it’s this layout, ...
• With this layout, ...
• Given this floor plan, ...

It is not always a strict cause-and-effect if like in a math statement. Often it means in that case or when talking about that option.

Yes, but the nuance changes a bit.

• 別の場所 = a different place
• 別々の場所 = separate places

Since there are two pieces of furniture, 別々の場所 clearly says they can each go in their own place.

If you said 机とベッドを別の場所に置けます, it could sound less precise, because 別の場所 is singular in idea: another place or a different place. It does not express the idea of the two items being separated as clearly.

So 別々の場所 is the better choice here.

The comma is natural, but not absolutely required.

It helps show the break between:

• the condition/topic: この間取りなら
• the main statement: 机とベッドを別々の場所に置けます

So it makes the sentence easier to read:

• この間取りなら、机とベッドを別々の場所に置けます。

Without the comma, it is still understandable:

• この間取りなら机とベッドを別々の場所に置けます。

Japanese commas are often used for readability and rhythm, not only for strict grammar rules.

No. Standard Japanese is normally written without spaces.

So the usual writing is:

この間取りなら、机とベッドを別々の場所に置けます。

The spaces in learner materials are often added just to make the parts easier to see.

The subject is omitted, which is very common in Japanese.

Depending on context, it could mean:

• you can place
• we can place
• one can place
• it is possible to place

In English, we often need to choose a subject, but Japanese often leaves it unstated when it is obvious from context.

In a room-layout discussion, the sentence often feels close to:

• With this layout, you can place the desk and bed in separate places. or
• With this layout, it’s possible to place the desk and bed separately.

Yes, that is the natural interpretation.

The sentence means the layout allows the desk and bed to be placed in different spots rather than together in one area.

So the idea is:

• the desk can go in one place
• the bed can go in another place

That is why 別々の場所 works well here. It implies a separation between the two pieces of furniture.
