提出物

1. Origins, structure, and basic meaning

• Structure: The spelling is 提出物, read ていしゅつぶつ, and it combines 提出, meaning submission, with 物, meaning item or object.
• Basic usage: The basic sense of 提出物 is an assignment, document, work, or other item that must be or has been submitted to a designated person or institution.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

• The submitted item rather than the act of submitting
  • Both examples use the form 提出物. 提出 names the act of handing something in, whereas 提出物 names the assignment or document that can bear a name and be checked.
• Writing a name and checking assignments on a desk
  • 提出物には必ず名前を書いてください。 — Be sure to write your name on anything you submit.
  • 先生は机の上の提出物を順番に確認した。 — The teacher checked the assignments on the desk in order.
