신청서
신청서 means “application form” here: the document the speaker has completed. In a registration situation, it names the form someone fills in or submits.
작성을
작성을 means “writing or completing” as the activity that was finished in 신청서 작성을 끝냈어요. 작성 is the noun for this activity, and 을 marks it as the object of 끝냈어요.
끝냈어요
끝냈어요 means “finished” here: the speaker completed the form. It is a polite past form of 끝내다 and can follow the thing or activity that was completed.
다음
다음 means “next” here and identifies which walking event is meant. In 다음 걷기 행사, it comes before the event name to indicate the next one.
걷기
걷기 means “walking” here and names the activity in 걷기 행사. It is the noun-like form of 걷다 used before 행사, and the same pattern can name an activity before another noun.
행사에
행사에 identifies the walking event as the event they want to participate in. In 다음 걷기 행사에 참여할 수 있어요, 에 marks the event connected with 참여하다.
참여할
참여할 is the form of 참여하다 used before 수 in 참여할 수 있어요, contributing the meaning “participate.” A reusable pattern is an activity marked with 에 followed by 참여할 수 있어요.
수
수 represents possibility or ability in 참여할 수 있어요. Together with 참여할 and 있어요, it makes the meaning “can participate”; the pattern V-(으)ㄹ 수 있어요 expresses that something is possible.
있어요
In 참여할 수 있어요, 있어요 completes the expression meaning “can,” while in 가지고 있어요 it helps express having or carrying something. It is the polite form of 있다 and gets its precise meaning from the construction around it.
네
네 means “yes” here and confirms that the visitors can join the event. It is a common polite response when agreeing with or confirming a question.
무언가
무언가 means “something” in 무언가 가져가야 해요?, asking whether there is anything they need to bring. It can be used when the specific thing is unknown or not named.
가져가야
가져가야 means “must take or bring along” in the question about what to bring to the event. It is the form of 가져가다 before 해요, with -아야 contributing the sense of necessity.
해요
In 가져가야 해요, 해요 completes the obligation expression, so the whole question asks whether they need to bring something. It is a polite form of 하다 and can follow a verb phrase ending in -아야 or -어야.
물병을
물병을 means “a water bottle” as the object of 가져오세요. The ending 을 marks 물병 as the thing being brought, as in 물병을 가져오세요.
가져오세요
가져오세요 means “please bring” here, with the requested item brought toward the speaker or event desk. It is a polite request form of 가져오다 and commonly follows an object such as 물병을.
큰
큰 means “large” and modifies 가방은 in 큰 가방은 데스크에 맡길 수 있어요. It is the form of 크다 used directly before a noun.
가방은
가방은 means “as for the bag” here, setting the large bag as the topic of the sentence. 은 marks 가방 as the topic, and this topic pattern can introduce what happens to a particular item.
데스크에
데스크에 means “at or to the desk” here, identifying where the large bag can be left. 에 marks the place connected with 맡기다 in 데스크에 맡길 수 있어요.
맡길
맡길 is the form of 맡기다 used in both 맡길 수 있어요 and 맡길게요. In the first, it contributes “leave or check in” to the meaning “can leave it”; in the second, it contributes the action the speaker says they will do.
작은
작은 means “small” and modifies 물병을 in 작은 물병을 가지고 있어요. It is the form of 작다 used directly before a noun.
가지고
가지고 means “having or carrying” in 가지고 있어요, so 작은 물병을 가지고 있어요 means “I have or am carrying a small water bottle.” It is the form of 가지다 used before 있어요, and a reusable pattern is an object followed by 가지고 있어요.
시작하기
시작하기 means “starting” in 시작하기 전에. It is the noun-like form of 시작하다 used before 전에, and the pattern V-기 전에 means “before doing V.”
전에
전에 means “before” here and places the bag-leaving action earlier than the start of the event. It can follow a noun or a -기 form, as in 시작하기 전에, to mark an earlier time.
제
제 means “my” here and shows that the bag belongs to the speaker. It comes before 가방을 in 제 가방을 여기에 맡길게요; 제 is the polite possessive form of 저.
가방을
가방을 means “my bag” as the object being left in 제 가방을 여기에 맡길게요. 을 marks 가방 as the object of 맡길게요, and the same object pattern is used with other action verbs.
여기에
여기에 means “here” and indicates the place where the speaker will leave the bag. 에 is attached to 여기 and the form comes before the action in 여기에 맡길게요.
맡길게요
맡길게요 means “I will leave or check it in” here, expressing the speaker’s intention to leave the bag at the desk. It is 맡기다 with -ㄹ게요, a form commonly used when committing to an action in the current situation.
기대하고
기대하고 contributes “looking forward to” in 기대하고 있어요, which means “I am looking forward to it” in this dialogue. It is the form of 기대하다 used before 있어요, and a reusable pattern is N을/를 기대하고 있어요 when naming what someone looks forward to.
