Questions & Answers about seikyuusyo no kingaku wo kakuninsite kara, ginkou de daikin wo hurikomimasu.

Why are there two particles in this sentence?

Because there are two different direct objects, each belonging to a different verb:

  • 金額を確認して = check the amount
  • 代金を振り込みます = transfer/pay the payment amount

So the sentence has two actions:

  1. confirm the invoice amount
  2. transfer the payment

Each verb takes its own object, so each object gets .


What does mean in 請求書の金額?

Here, links two nouns and shows a relationship between them.

  • 請求書 = invoice
  • 金額 = amount
  • 請求書の金額 = the amount on the invoice / the invoice amount

You can think of A の B as meaning things like:

  • B of A
  • A’s B
  • B related to A

In this sentence, it means the amount associated with the invoice.


How does 確認してから work?

〜てから means after doing ~.

So:

  • 確認する = to confirm/check
  • 確認してから = after confirming/checking

It shows that the first action happens before the second one.

So the sequence is:

  1. check the invoice amount
  2. then make the bank transfer

This is a very common pattern:

  • 食べてから行きます = I’ll go after eating.
  • 見てから決めます = I’ll decide after looking.

Why is it 銀行で and not 銀行に or 銀行へ?

Here, marks the place where the action happens.

  • 銀行で代金を振り込みます = make the payment transfer at the bank

Use when a location is the setting for an action.

By contrast:

  • に / へ usually mark direction or destination
  • marks the place where something is done

So this sentence focuses on where the transfer is carried out: at the bank.


What is the difference between 金額 and 代金? Why are both used?

They are related, but not identical.

  • 金額 = amount, sum of money, numerical amount
  • 代金 = charge, payment, price to be paid for something

In this sentence:

  • 請求書の金額 = the amount written on the invoice
  • 代金 = the money being paid/transferred

So the sentence is basically saying:

  • first confirm the amount listed
  • then transfer the payment

Using both words is natural in business/payment contexts.


What exactly is 振り込みます?

振り込みます is the polite non-past form of 振り込む.

振り込む means:

  • to transfer money
  • to pay by bank transfer
  • to deposit/remit into an account

So 代金を振り込みます means something like:

  • I will transfer the payment
  • I will pay by bank transfer

This verb is very common in banking and business Japanese.


Why is the subject missing? Who is doing the actions?

Japanese often omits the subject when it is understood from context.

In this sentence, the person doing both actions is implied:

  • (I / we) will confirm the invoice amount, then transfer the payment at the bank.

In English, you usually need to say the subject. In Japanese, it is often left out if it is obvious.

Depending on context, the hidden subject could be:

  • I
  • we
  • the company
  • the accounting staff

Japanese relies heavily on context for this.


Why does the sentence end with ます form?

Because this is polite Japanese.

  • 確認してから、銀行で代金を振り込みます
  • dictionary style would be 確認してから、銀行で代金を振り込む

The ます form is standard in:

  • business communication
  • customer-facing language
  • polite everyday speech

Since the sentence involves invoices and bank transfers, polite style is especially natural.


Is the order of the sentence important?

Yes. The order reflects the real sequence of events.

  • 請求書の金額を確認してから = after checking the invoice amount
  • 銀行で代金を振り込みます = make the payment at the bank

Because of 〜てから, the first action must happen before the second.

If you changed the order, the meaning would change or become unnatural.

So this sentence clearly means:

  1. confirm first
  2. transfer second

Is 確認して a full verb even though 確認 is a noun?

Yes. 確認 is a noun meaning confirmation/check, but it can combine with する to make a verb:

  • 確認する = to confirm / to check

Then it conjugates normally:

This is a very common pattern in Japanese, especially with words of Chinese origin:

  • 勉強する = study
  • 連絡する = contact
  • 確認する = confirm

Could this sentence also imply I will transfer the money to a bank account? Where is the destination?

Yes, 振り込む often involves transferring money into an account, but in this sentence the destination is not stated.

What is stated is:

  • where the action is done: 銀行で = at the bank
  • what is transferred: 代金を = the payment

What is omitted is the destination, such as:

  • 口座に = into an account
  • 相手の口座に = into the other party’s account

A fuller sentence could be:

  • 請求書の金額を確認してから、銀行で相手の口座に代金を振り込みます。

But Japanese often leaves out details that are already understood from context.


What are the readings of the main words in this sentence?

Here are the common readings:

  • 請求書せいきゅうしょ
  • 金額きんがく
  • 確認してかくにんして
  • 銀行ぎんこう
  • 代金だいきん
  • 振り込みますふりこみます

So the full reading is:

せいきゅうしょ の きんがく を かくにんして から、 ぎんこう で だいきん を ふりこみます。

How do verb conjugations work in Japanese?
Japanese verbs conjugate based on tense, politeness, and mood. For example, the polite present form adds ‑ます to the verb stem, while the past tense uses ‑ました. Unlike English, Japanese verbs don't change based on the subject — the same form works for "I", "you", and "they".
