Questions & Answers about hikkoshi wa junchou ni susunde ite, kyoujuu ni buji owarisou desu.

Why is は used after 引っ越し?

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.

What does 順調に mean, and why does it use に?

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.

Why is the verb 進む used here?

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.
