밖에
밖에 means “outside” here, indicating where the wind is. It is used with a place-related situation, as in the statement about conditions outside. You could use it when telling someone what is happening outdoors.
바람이
바람이 means “the wind” and marks the wind as the subject of the sentence. In 밖에 바람이 많이 불어요, the sentence describes what the wind is doing outside. Use it before an expression that describes or reports the wind.
많이
많이 means “a lot” here and shows that the wind is blowing strongly or in a large amount. It modifies 불어요 to describe how much the wind is blowing. You can use it before an action or description when something happens a lot.
불어요
불어요 means “blows” in this dialogue, describing the wind blowing. Together with 바람이 많이, it reports the windy outdoor condition politely. Use this form when politely describing wind or air that is blowing.
한
한 means “one” here and specifies the number of hands. It comes directly before 손으로 in the instruction to use one hand. Use it before a counted noun when identifying one item or person.
손으로
손으로 means “with one hand” here, showing the body part used to hold the hat. The 으로 ending marks the means or tool used for an action. Use it after a body part or tool when explaining how something is done.
모자를
모자를 means “the hat” as the object being held. The 를 ending marks the hat as the thing affected by 잡으세요. Use it after an object when giving an instruction about holding or handling that object.
잡으세요
잡으세요 means “hold it” here and gives a polite instruction to hold the hat. In this scene, the object is 모자를, so the listener is told to hold the hat with one hand. Use it when politely telling someone to hold or grasp something.
나무가
나무가 means “the tree or trees” and presents the tree or trees as the subject that is moving. In 나무가 많이 흔들려요, it identifies what the strong wind is making shake. Use it before an expression describing what a tree or trees are doing.
흔들려요
흔들려요 means “is shaking” or “is moving back and forth” here. It describes the trees’ visible movement in the wind and is polite in this sentence. Use it when reporting that something is shaking or swaying.
길
길 means “street” or “road” here. It is followed by 근처에서는 to identify the area where the wind is stronger. Use it as a place noun when talking about a street or road.
근처에서는
근처에서는 means “near the area” or “around the vicinity” here, specifically near the street. The form frames that nearby area as the situation being discussed. Use it after a place noun when explaining what happens in or around that place.
더
더 means “more” here and shows that the wind is stronger in one place than in another. It comes before 세요 in the comparison about the area near the street. Use it before an adjective or description when indicating a greater degree.
세요
세요 means “is strong” here, completing the description of the wind in 바람이 더 세요. With 더, it says that the wind is stronger near the street. Use it after a subject when politely describing something as strong.
우리
우리 means “we” or “us” here and refers to the two speakers together. In 우리 좀 더 천천히 걸을까요, it makes the suggestion apply to both people. Use it when proposing that you and another person do something together.
좀
좀 means “a little” or “somewhat” here and softens the suggestion to walk more slowly. It appears before 더 천천히 to make the request less direct. Use it in a suggestion or request when you want to make the wording gentler.
천천히
천천히 means “slowly” and describes the speed of walking. In the dialogue, it is used because the strong wind makes walking near the street more difficult. Use it before an action when telling someone to do it slowly.
걸을까요
걸을까요 means “shall we walk?” here and asks for agreement about walking more slowly. The question is a polite suggestion directed at both speakers. Use it after an activity when proposing that you and another person do it together.
걸어요
걸어요 means “let’s walk” in this dialogue. It gives a polite, shared suggestion to walk slowly near the street. Use it when encouraging someone to do the activity with you.
저도
저도 means “I also” or “me too” here, showing that the speaker will do the same kind of protective action. It connects the speaker’s action with the other person’s action. Use it when adding that you will do something as well.
가방을
가방을 means “the bag” as the object being held. The 를 ending marks the bag as the thing affected by 잡을게요. Use it after an object when saying that you will hold or handle that object.
몸
몸 means “body” here and appears in the phrase 몸 가까이, meaning close to the body. It explains the position where the bag will be held. Use it when describing something positioned close to a person’s body.
가까이
가까이 means “close” or “near” here and describes holding the bag close to the body. It modifies the position of the bag rather than describing the speed of an action. Use it after a reference point when saying that something is kept close to it.
잡을게요
잡을게요 means “I’ll hold it” here and expresses the speaker’s intention to hold the bag. It responds to the windy situation by promising a protective action. Use it when telling someone that you will take a particular action.
그러면
그러면 means “then” or “in that case” here and connects the speaker’s action with its expected result. It introduces the conclusion that holding the bag close will help prevent it from opening. Use it at the start of a response when drawing a result from what was just said.
가방이
가방이 means “the bag” and marks the bag as the subject of the expected result. In the final sentence, the bag is the thing that will not open in the wind. Use it before an expression describing what the bag does or what happens to it.
바람에
바람에 means “by the wind” or “because of the wind” here, identifying the wind as the cause of the bag opening. It explains why the bag might otherwise open. Use it after a cause when describing an effect produced by that cause.
열리지
열리지 is the part that describes the bag being opened or opening in 열리지 않을 거예요. Together with 않을, it expresses that the bag will not open. Use this form inside a negative expression when describing something that does not open.
않을
않을 is the negative part of 열리지 않을 거예요 and helps express “will not open.” It combines with 열리지 to negate the expected result. Use it before the ending that expresses an expected future result when saying that something will not happen.
거예요
거예요 completes the expression for an expected result in 열리지 않을 거예요, meaning “will not open.” Here it presents the speaker’s prediction about the bag after it is held close. Use it at the end of a statement about what is expected to happen.
