Written correctly? これは業績です!

[JDubG]

これは業績です!

This is an achievement!

Is the above correct?

 

[PaulTB]

これは業績です!

This is an achievement!

Is the above correct?

I think not very natural.

What do you want it for? My guess is that something like

これは素晴らしい業績に違いありません。
This is without doubt a splendid achievement.

would sound better - but for the final word you need a native Japanese speaker.

 

[JDubG]

I am just curious. You say not very natural, but is it correct?

I am just curious. You say not very natural, but is it correct?

Maybe yes, maybe no. Which is why I didn't say

None of the example sentences I've seen are of the

___は業績です。

form. I get the impression that it is just not used on it's own like that (much/at all).

 

[JDubG]

OK. Thanks PaulTB. I appreciate the help!

Yes, "これは素晴らしい業績に違いありません" is more natural than "これは業績です!" in Japanese.

Usually japanese don't use this word "業績" without "modifier".
An instance, "業績が悪い", "素晴らしい業績", "業績が下降" or "驚くような業績".

If you want to say "This is an achievement!" more literally, "これは偉業です！" is natural. This translation is the same meaning with "これは素晴らしい業績です！". of course "これは素晴らしい業績です！" is good too!
