tenzi wo mimasu.

It is read:

• 展示 = てんじ (tenji)
• を = お (o)
• 見ます = みます (mimasu)

So the whole sentence is:

• てんじをみます。
• tenji o mimasu

In normal Japanese writing, it would usually be written without spaces: 展示を見ます。

を is the particle that marks the direct object of the verb.

In this sentence:

• 展示 = the thing being looked at
• 見ます = look at / see
• を shows that 展示 is what you are seeing

So 展示を見ます follows the pattern:

• [object] + を + [verb]

That is just how this particle works in modern Japanese.

Even though it is written を, when it is used as a particle it is normally pronounced お (o), not wo.

So here:

• written: 展示を見ます
• pronounced: てんじおみます (naturally flowing together as てんじをみます)

You may still see it romanized as wo in some charts, but in actual speech it is usually just o.

Because Japanese usually puts the verb at the end of the sentence.

English often uses:

• I see the exhibit.

Japanese often uses:

• [exhibit] + [object marker] + [see]

So:

• 展示 = exhibit / exhibition
• を = object marker
• 見ます = see / look at

This word order is very normal in Japanese.

見ます is the polite form of the verb.
見る is the plain dictionary form.

So:

• 見る = plain
• 見ます = polite

Both mean to see / to look at, but 見ます is more appropriate in everyday polite conversation, textbook examples, and speaking to people you are not close with.

見ます is a non-past form.

That means it can refer to:

• the present, depending on context
• the future, depending on context
• a habitual action

For example, it could mean:

• I look at the exhibit
• I will look at the exhibit
• I watch exhibits / view exhibits (in the right context)

Japanese often relies on context instead of changing the verb the way English does.

The subject is omitted.

Japanese often leaves out subjects when they are understood from context. So 展示を見ます。 could mean:

• I look at the exhibit.
• We will see the exhibition.
• They are looking at the display.

If the speaker wants to be explicit, they could add a subject, such as:

• 私は展示を見ます。 = I look at the exhibit / I will see the exhibit.

But very often, Japanese does not say the subject unless it is needed.

展示 usually means display, exhibit, or exhibition, depending on context.

So this sentence could refer to:

• a museum exhibit
• an art display
• a public exhibition
• something being displayed at an event

Japanese nouns often do not show singular vs. plural clearly, so 展示 could mean:

• the exhibit
• the exhibits
• the exhibition

Context tells you which is most natural.

Yes, 見る is the normal and natural verb here.

For exhibits, displays, and things you look at, 見る is the standard choice.

A learner might wonder about 観る, but 観る is more often used for things like:

• movies
• plays
• performances
• sports

So for 展示, 見る is the most natural choice.

The spaces are only there as a learning aid.

In normal Japanese writing, you would write:

• 展示を見ます。

Japanese does not normally use spaces between words the way English does. Textbooks often add spaces to help beginners see the parts of the sentence more clearly.

A little, depending on context.

Grammatically, it is perfectly correct. But in real conversation, Japanese often includes extra information like:

• where
• when
• which exhibit
• who is doing it

For example:

• 美術館で展示を見ます。 = I will see the exhibition at the museum.
• これから展示を見ます。 = I’m going to see the exhibit now.

So 展示を見ます。 is correct, but it can sound like a simple textbook sentence unless there is surrounding context.

The dictionary form is 見る.

This is an ichidan verb (often called a ru-verb).

Its polite form is made like this:

• 見る → remove る → 見
• add ます
• 見ます

So:

• dictionary form: 見る
• polite form: 見ます

This is a very common verb, so it is worth memorizing early.
