Reading a Japanese Dry-Cleaning Slip: Items, Accessories and Pickup

A cleaning slip records what you left at a shop. Practise checking the items, their number, accessories and the planned pickup date. The sample below is fictional; each shop has its own form and terms.

服ふくを 預あずけたら、預あずかり証しょうの 内容ないようを 読よみましょう。受うけ取とる 日ひも 確認かくにんしましょう。

  1. Q1. シャツは 何点なんてんですか。

    How many shirts are recorded?

    Q1 — Answer and how to find it

    2点てんです。

    Find シャツ in 品名ひんめい/点数てんすう. Do not answer with the total of three garments.

  2. Q2. コートと 一緒いっしょに、何なにを 預あずけましたか。

    Which accessory was left with the coat?

    Q2 — Answer and how to find it

    ベルトを 1本ぽん、預あずけました。

    Read 付属品ふぞくひん, then the accessory and count. The slip says the belt is counted separately from the three garments.

  3. Q3. 10月がつ28日にちの 14時じは、仕上しあがり予定よていの 時刻じこくより 前まえですか。

    Is 2 p.m. on October 28 before the expected completion time?

    Q3 — Answer and how to find it

    はい。予定よていは 15時じ以降いこうです。

    Find 仕上がり予定日しあがりよていび and read both the date and time. 以降いこう includes 15:00 and later. It is an expected completion time, not a guarantee.

  4. Q4. 受うけ取とる とき、何なにを 持もって いきますか。

    What does this sample ask you to bring when collecting the clothes?

    Q4 — Answer and how to find it

    この 預あずかり証しょうです。

    Read お受け取り時おうけとりじ. This is the sample shop’s instruction; ask your actual shop if its requirements differ.

Phrases to use

Read aloud or show the Japanese sentence.

ベルトも 書かいて ください。

Please record the belt too.

仕上しあがりは いつですか。

When will it be ready?

預あずかり証しょうの 内容ないようを 確認かくにんしたいです。

I would like to check the details on the slip.

Review

Cover the English meanings. Find three Japanese words in the sample and say which field or condition each word helps you read. Then answer Q1–Q4 again without opening the answers.

Real-world reference

Meguro City advises customers to have accessories recorded, keep and check the slip, and check the clothes promptly after collection. The practice form and all its dates were made for this lesson. It does not set a legal claim deadline or a rule shared by all shops.

服ふくを 預あずけたら、ベルトなども 預あずかり証しょうに 書かいて もらい、内容ないようを 確認かくにんします。

受うけ取とったら、服ふくの 状態じょうたいも 確認かくにんします。

上うえの 票ひょうと 日付ひづけは 練習用れんしゅうようです。店みせごとに 書かき方かたや 決きまりが 違ちがいます。
