실례합니다
실례합니다 means “excuse me” here and is a polite way to get a shop worker’s attention before asking a question. It is useful when speaking politely to someone you do not know, such as a staff member. In this dialogue, it introduces the question about where the juice is.
주스
주스 means “juice” here. It names the drink the customer is looking for, and 주스는 makes it the topic of the question. You can reuse it when asking about or choosing juice in a shop.
는
는 marks 주스 as the topic in 주스는 어디에 있어요?, meaning “As for the juice, where is it?” Here it presents the item being located rather than adding a contrast. Use a noun followed by 는 when making that noun the topic of a question or statement.
어디
어디 means “where” here. In 어디에 있어요?, it asks for the location of the juice. Use 어디 with 에 있어요 when asking where something is, such as when looking for an item in a shop.
에
에 marks the location in 어디에 있어요? and asks where something is located. It also appears in 코너에 있어요 and 옆에 있어요 to mark the place where the juice is. Use a place or location expression followed by 에 있어요 when describing where something is.
있어요
있어요 means “is located” or “is available” here, as in 주스는 어디에 있어요? and 이 코너에 있어요. It is the polite form used to say that something exists or is in a particular place. Use it after a location expression when telling someone where an item is.
이
이 means “this” here and points to the section close to the speaker: 이 코너. It comes directly before the noun it describes. Use 이 + noun when identifying something as this particular nearby item or place.
코너
코너 means “section” here, referring to an area of the shop. In 이 코너에 있어요, it identifies the place where the juice can be found. It is useful when directing someone to a particular section in a shop.
차가운
차가운 means “cold” here and describes the drinks in 차가운 음료. It is the form of 차갑다 used before a noun. Use 차가운 + noun when describing something that is cold, especially when identifying refrigerated drinks.
음료
음료 means “drink” or “beverage” here. In 차가운 음료 옆에 있어요, it identifies the drinks next to which the juice is located. Use it when referring to beverages in a shop or when grouping drinks by type.
옆
옆 means “beside” or “the side” here, in 차가운 음료 옆에 있어요. Together with 에 있어요, it tells the listener that the juice is next to the cold drinks. Use a noun followed by 옆에 있어요 to describe an item’s location beside something else.
어떤
어떤 means “what kind of” or “which” here and describes 것 in 어떤 것을 추천해요? It asks the shop worker to identify a suitable choice among items. Use 어떤 before a noun when asking someone to choose or describe one option.
것
것 means “thing” or “one” here, referring to one of the available juice products in 어떤 것을 추천해요? It is the item receiving the action of 추천해요. Use 어떤 것 when asking which thing or which item is meant or recommended.
을
을 marks 어떤 것 as the object of 추천해요 in 어떤 것을 추천해요? It shows what the shop worker is being asked to recommend. Use a noun ending in a consonant followed by 을 when that noun is the object of an action.
추천해요
추천해요 means “recommend” here, as the customer asks the shop worker which juice to choose. It is the polite form related to 추천하다. Use an item followed by 을 and then 추천해요 when asking someone to recommend something.
맛
맛 means “taste” here. In 맛이 신선하고, it describes the flavor of the juice before the speaker adds that it is easy to drink. Use it when describing the taste of food or drinks, often with a description after 맛이.
신선하고
신선하고 means “is fresh and” here, describing the juice’s taste and linking that description to 마시기 좋아요. It is the form of 신선하다 used to connect this description with the next one. Use it when describing something as fresh and then continuing with another connected quality, especially in a product recommendation.
마시기
마시기 is the -기 form of 마시다, meaning “drinking” or “to drink” here. In 마시기 좋아요, it forms the expression “easy or good to drink,” describing the juice. Use a verb in -기 with 좋아요 when saying that an activity or action is easy or good to do.
좋아요
좋아요 means “is good” here and, in 마시기 좋아요, expresses that the juice is easy or pleasant to drink. It completes the description of the recommended juice. Use an action in -기 before 좋아요 when evaluating how suitable or easy that action is.
그럼
그럼 means “then” or “in that case” here. The customer uses it to move from the recommendation to a purchase decision. Use it at the start of a reply when responding to information and stating what you will do next.
저
저 means “that over there” here and points to a bottle farther from the speaker in 저 병. It comes before 병 to identify the selected bottle. Use 저 + noun when choosing or referring to something visible at a distance.
병
병 means “bottle” here and identifies the container the customer decides to buy in 저 병. It is used with the demonstrative 저 to specify the selected item. Use it when choosing a bottled product in a shop.
살게요
살게요 means “I’ll buy it” here, showing the customer’s decision after hearing the recommendation. It is the form of 사다 used with the polite -ㄹ게요 ending, which expresses the speaker’s intention or commitment. Use an object followed by 살게요 when telling someone that you will buy the selected item.
