Questions & Answers about seikyuusyo no kingaku wo kakuninsite kara, ginkou de daikin wo hurikomimasu.
Why are there two を 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:
- confirm the invoice amount
- transfer the payment
Each verb takes its own object, so each object gets を.
What does の mean in 請求書の金額?
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:
- check the invoice amount
- 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, で 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 で when a location is the setting for an action.
By contrast:
- に / へ usually mark direction or destination
- で 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:
- confirm first
- 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:
- 確認して = te-form
- 確認します = polite present/future
- 確認した = past
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。
