kono syuugyoukisoku wo yomimasu.

この means this, but it must be followed by a noun.

So in この 就業規則, この modifies 就業規則:

• この 就業規則 = this work regulation / these employment rules

By contrast:

• これ = this one / this thing

So you can say:

• この 就業規則 = this set of employment regulations
• これを読みます = I will read this

A useful pattern is:

• この + noun = this + noun
• その + noun = that + noun
• あの + noun = that + noun over there

を marks the direct object of the verb — the thing being acted on.

In this sentence:

• 就業規則 is the thing being read
• so it takes を

Structure:

• この 就業規則 を 読みます
• [this employment regulation] + object marker + [read]

So を is similar to how English identifies the object by word order:

• I read this rulebook
• In Japanese, the object is clearly marked by を

Also, although it is written を, it is usually pronounced お in modern Japanese.

Japanese sentences usually put the verb at the end.

So instead of English word order:

• I read this rulebook

Japanese often works like:

• I / this rulebook / read

That is why 読みます comes last.

A very common basic pattern is:

• [topic/subject] [object] を [verb]

In your sentence, the subject is omitted, but the object and verb are still in that order:

• この 就業規則 を 読みます

Japanese often leaves out the subject when it is understood from context.

So この 就業規則 を 読みます could mean:

• I read this employment regulation
• I will read this employment regulation
• He/She reads it
• We will read it

The exact subject depends on the situation.

This is very normal in Japanese. If the speaker does not need to say who is doing the action, they usually do not.

If you wanted to include the subject, you could say:

• 私は この 就業規則 を 読みます。 = I will read this employment regulation.

読みます is a non-past polite form, so it can mean either:

• read / reads (habitual or present)
• will read (future)

Japanese does not have a separate future tense the way English often does.

So the exact meaning depends on context.

Examples:

• 毎日読みます = I read it every day
• あとで読みます = I will read it later

In your sentence, without extra context, 読みます is simply polite non-past.

読む is the dictionary form of the verb, while 読みます is the polite form.

• 読む = plain form
• 読みます = polite form

Japanese often uses ます forms in:

• neutral polite conversation
• workplace situations
• speaking to people you do not know well
• formal examples in textbooks

Since 就業規則 is a formal/workplace word, 読みます sounds very natural here.

Compare:

• この 就業規則 を 読む。 = plain style
• この 就業規則 を 読みます。 = polite style

It is read:

しゅうぎょうきそく
shūgyō kisoku (often written together as shūgyōkisoku)

Breakdown:

• 就業 = employment / working
• 規則 = rules / regulations

Together, 就業規則 means something like:

• employment regulations
• work rules
• company work regulations

This is a formal compound noun, and it is common in workplace or legal contexts.

Not quite. 就業規則 is more specific and formal than just rule.

It usually refers to official workplace rules, such as:

• working hours
• leave policies
• conduct rules
• employment conditions

So depending on context, English translations might include:

• employment regulations
• work rules
• company regulations
• employee handbook rules

It sounds administrative or legal, not casual.

Although the particle is written を, in modern standard Japanese it is usually pronounced お.

So the sentence is pronounced roughly like:

この しゅうぎょうきそく お よみます。

In romanization, you may see:

• o for pronunciation
• wo to reflect the historical spelling

For beginners, the most useful thing to remember is:

• particle を = pronounced お

No. Standard Japanese is usually written without spaces.

So the normal written form is:

この就業規則を読みます。

Spaces are often added in beginner materials to make it easier to see the parts of the sentence.

So the spaced version is just a learning aid, not standard formatting.

No, not by itself.

読みます is a polite statement, not a command. It usually means:

• I read
• I will read
• sometimes a context-based statement about someone else

If you want to tell someone Please read this regulation, you would normally say:

• この就業規則を読んでください。

So:

• 読みます = statement
• 読んでください = polite request

That is an important difference.

You could, but it changes the nuance.

• この就業規則を読みます simply marks 就業規則 as the object: I will read this regulation
• この就業規則は読みます puts special focus or contrast on it: As for this regulation, I will read it / I will read this regulation (at least)

So を is the most neutral choice here.

Using は instead of を often adds a contrastive feeling, depending on context.

Yes. 読む is a godan verb, and its polite form is made in a regular pattern.

Steps:

• dictionary form: 読む
• change む to the -み stem
• add ます

So:

• 読む → 読みます

This is the same pattern as:

• 書く → 書きます
• 飲む → 飲みます
• 話す → 話します

So 読みます is a very standard conjugation.
