hikkosi ha zyuntyou ni susunde ite, kyouzyuu ni buzi owarisou desu.

は marks 引っ越し as the topic of the sentence: as for the move...

It does not necessarily mark the grammatical subject in the same way English does. Here, the speaker is talking about the move and then commenting on it:

• 引っ越しは = as for the move
• 順調に進んでいて... = it is progressing smoothly...

So は gives the sentence a topic-comment structure, which is very common in Japanese.

順調 means smooth, favorable, or going well.

In this sentence, 順調に modifies the verb 進んでいて, so it works like an adverb: smoothly.

The に is used because 順調 is a na-adjective / noun-like word, and adding に turns it into an adverb:

• 順調だ = is smooth / is going well
• 順調に進む = to progress smoothly

So 順調に means smoothly or without problems.

進む means to advance, to make progress, or to proceed.

In this sentence, the move is being described as something that is progressing:

• 引っ越しは順調に進んでいて = the move is progressing smoothly

This is a natural way in Japanese to talk about the status of a process, project, plan, event, or task.

進んでいて is the て-form of 進んでいる.

Breakdown:

• 進む = to progress
• 進んでいる = is progressing / has been progressing
• 進んでいて = and is progressing / being in the state of progressing

Here, 〜ていて connects the first clause to the second clause. So it means something like:

• The move is progressing smoothly, and...
• The move has been going smoothly, and...

The 〜ている part shows an ongoing situation or current state.

Because the speaker wants to connect this clause to what comes next.

Compare:

• 進んでいます。 = complete sentence: It is progressing.
• 進んでいて、... = connected clause: It is progressing, and...

So 〜ていて is used to link the idea the move is going smoothly with the next idea it looks like it will finish today.

今日中に means by the end of today or sometime within today.

Breakdown:

• 今日 = today
• 中 = inside / within
• 今日中 = within today
• 今日中に = by today / by the end of today

This is a very common expression for deadlines:

• 今日中にやります = I’ll do it by the end of today.
• 今日中に終わる = It will finish today.

So here it means the move is expected to be completed before today is over.

The に marks the time target / deadline.

In this sentence, 今日中に indicates the point by which the action is expected to be completed:

• 今日中に終わる = finish by the end of today

Not all time expressions take に, but deadline-like expressions often do, and 今日中に is a fixed, natural expression.

無事 means safely, without trouble, or without incident.

So 無事終わりそうです is not just it looks like it will finish. It adds the nuance that the move will likely finish:

• without problems
• without accidents
• successfully

This is especially natural for something like a move, trip, event, surgery, or task where things could potentially go wrong.

終わりそうです uses the pattern verb stem + そうです, which means:

• it looks like...
• it seems likely to...

Breakdown:

• 終わる = to end / to finish
• verb stem: 終わり
• 終わりそうです = it looks like it will finish

This そうです is based on appearance or signs the speaker can observe. In other words, the speaker sees evidence that the move will probably finish today.

終わります simply states that it will finish / ends.

終わりそうです is softer and less absolute. It means:

• it looks like it will finish
• it seems likely to finish

So the speaker is making an informed prediction based on the current situation, not stating a firm fact.

Compare:

• 今日中に終わります。 = It will finish today.
• 今日中に終わりそうです。 = It looks like it will finish today.

Because 終わる and 終える are different kinds of verbs.

• 終わる = to end, to be finished
• 終える = to finish something

In this sentence, the subject/topic is 引っ越し itself, so the move is being described as something that will end / be completed:

• 引っ越しが終わる = the move finishes

If you used 終える, the focus would be on a person finishing it:

• 私たちは引っ越しを終えそうです = We look like we’re about to finish the move.

So 終わりそうです is natural because the sentence is about the move as the thing that will be completed.

No. This is the appearance/prediction use of そうです, not the hearsay use.

There are two common そうです patterns:

1. Verb stem + そうです
   = looks like it will...

   • 終わりそうです = it looks like it will finish

2. Plain form + そうです
   = I heard that...

   • 終わるそうです = I heard that it will finish

So:

• 終わりそうです = looks like it will finish
• 終わるそうです = I heard it will finish

That is an important difference.

です makes the sentence polite.

The main sentence ends with 終わりそうです, which is the polite form. In casual speech, someone might say:

• 終わりそうだ
• 終わりそう

But in standard polite speech, です is added:

• 終わりそうです

So the sentence is in polite style overall.

Yes, in a sense. Japanese often omits things that are understood from context.

The topic 引っ越しは is stated once at the beginning, and then the rest of the sentence describes that same topic:

• 引っ越しは
  順調に進んでいて、今日中に無事終わりそうです。

English often repeats subjects more explicitly, but Japanese usually does not if the topic is already clear.

It has two connected parts:

1. 引っ越しは順調に進んでいて
   = The move is progressing smoothly

2. 今日中に無事終わりそうです
   = and it looks like it will finish safely by the end of today

So the full structure is:

• Topic: 引っ越しは
• First comment: 順調に進んでいて
• Second comment / result: 今日中に無事終わりそうです

This kind of chaining is very natural in Japanese.
