How to Say ‘The results are in.’ in Japanese
結果は出ています。
kekka wa de te i masu
[KEK-kah wah deh teh ee mahss]
💬 Usage Tip: [結果は出ています。] sounds like the doctor already has them. Patients can also ask: [結果は出ていますか。] (“Are the results in?”).
🇯🇵 In Japan: Even if results are “in,” the doctor might still say they want to compare with past data before concluding—monitoring is very common.
