kabegiwa ni beddo wo oite, tukue ha madogawa ni okimasu.

壁ぎわ means right by the wall, along the wall, or at the edge next to the wall.

• 壁 = wall
• ぎわ = edge, margin, right next to

So 壁ぎわにベッドを置く gives the idea of placing the bed up against the wall, not just somewhere vaguely near it.

窓側 means the window side.

• 窓 = window
• 側 = side

So 窓側に置きます means put it on the window side or place it by the window side of the room. It does not necessarily mean touching the window itself; it means the side where the window is.

With the verb 置く meaning to place / to put, に marks the location where something ends up.

Pattern:

• X を Y に 置く
• put X in/on/at Y

So here:

• ベッドを壁ぎわに置く = put the bed by the wall
• 机は窓側に置きます = as for the desk, put it on the window side

This is a very common pattern in Japanese.

ベッド is the thing being placed, so it is the direct object of 置く.

• ベッドを置く = place the bed

In this sentence:

• 壁ぎわに ベッドを 置いて means put the bed by the wall...

So:

• に marks the destination/location
• を marks the thing being moved or placed

置いて is the て-form of 置く. Here it connects the first action/clause to the second one.

So the sentence structure is basically:

• put the bed by the wall, and put the desk by the window side

The て-form often works like:

• and
• then
• after doing that

In this sentence, it links the two placement actions together naturally.

Not by itself.

The て-form alone can sometimes sound like the start of a request or command in conversation, but here it is simply linking two clauses. The whole sentence is better understood as describing an arrangement or giving instructions in a connected way.

A true polite request would usually be:

• 置いてください

A stronger plain command would be:

• 置け

So 置いて here is just the connective て-form, not an imperative by itself.

This is a very common learner question.

机は makes desk the topic, and it often has a slightly contrastive feel here:

• the bed goes by the wall,
• and the desk, on the other hand, goes by the window side.

Even though 机 is still the thing being placed, Japanese often uses は instead of を when shifting topic or contrasting items.

So:

• 机を窓側に置きます = simply put the desk on the window side
• 机は窓側に置きます = as for the desk, put it on the window side

The second version feels a little more like the desk, though, goes by the window.

Yes, it could.

• 壁ぎわにベッドを置いて、机を窓側に置きます。

This would also be grammatical and natural. It sounds a bit more neutral and less contrastive.

Using は helps separate the two furniture items and their different locations more clearly. That is probably why は was chosen here.

Yes. Japanese very often leaves out the subject when it is obvious from context.

This sentence does not say who is doing the placing. Depending on context, it could mean:

• I put / will put
• we put / will put
• please put
• let’s put
• or a general statement about where the furniture goes

Japanese relies heavily on context, so leaving out the subject is completely normal.

置きます is the polite non-past form.

In Japanese, the non-past can mean:

• present/habitual
• future
• a planned action
• instructions, depending on context

So here it could be understood as:

• We’ll put the desk on the window side
• The desk goes on the window side
• Put the desk on the window side

The exact English translation depends on the situation.

Repeating the verb is very natural in Japanese, especially when each object has a different location.

• 壁ぎわにベッドを置いて、机は窓側に置きます。

This makes the sentence very clear:

• bed → by the wall
• desk → by the window side

If the second 置きます were omitted, the sentence would feel incomplete or much less standard in this form. Japanese often repeats the verb when it helps keep the structure clear.

To some extent, yes. Japanese word order is more flexible than English, as long as the particles make the roles clear.

For example, the first part could also be rearranged:

• ベッドを壁ぎわに置いて

This means the same as:

• 壁ぎわにベッドを置いて

The particles を and に tell you what each word is doing, so the meaning stays clear. Still, the original order sounds very natural and smooth.

No. Standard Japanese is normally written without spaces:

• 壁ぎわにベッドを置いて、机は窓側に置きます。

Spaces are often added in teaching materials to help learners see the word boundaries more easily. So the spaced version is for readability, not normal everyday writing.
