Word by Word

주문을 “주문을” means “the order” in “주문을 확인해요.” It is the object being checked, and 주문 means “order” while 을 marks it as the object. A reusable pattern is 주문을 확인해요 for checking an order at a restaurant or pickup counter.
확인해요 “확인해요” means “check” in this dialogue, as in checking whether the order is correct. It is the polite form used when suggesting the action together in “주문을 확인해요.” You can reuse it with an object, such as 주문을 확인해요 for “check the order.”
음료가 “음료가” means “the drinks” in “음료가 여기 있어요.” 음료 means “drink” or “drinks,” and 가 marks it as the thing that is located here. This form is useful when pointing out that drinks or another item are present.
여기 “여기” means “here” in “음료가 여기 있어요.” It identifies the location of the drinks at the pickup counter. You can reuse it to point out where a person or object is, as in 여기 있어요 for “It is here.”
있어요 “있어요” means “are here” in “음료가 여기 있어요” and “is in this bag” in “이 가방에 있어요.” It states that something exists or is located somewhere, using the polite form heard in the dialogue. A reusable pattern is [place]에 있어요, meaning that something is in or at a place.
우리 “우리” means “our” in “우리 음식도 있어요?” and refers to the food belonging to the speakers’ order. It comes before 음식 to identify whose food is being discussed. You can reuse 우리 before a noun when referring to something shared by the speaker and listener.
음식도 “음식도” means “the food too” in “우리 음식도 있어요?” 음식 means “food,” and 도 adds the meaning “too” or “also.” It is useful when asking whether an additional item is included, after mentioning or expecting another item.
이 “이” means “this” in “이 가방에 있어요.” It directly describes the nearby bag, so 이 가방 means “this bag.” You can reuse 이 before a noun when identifying one specific nearby person or thing.
가방에 “가방에” means “in the bag” in “이 가방에 있어요.” 가방 means “bag,” and 에 marks the place where the food is located. A reusable pattern is 가방에 있어요 for saying that something is in the bag.
모두 “모두” means “everything” in “모두 맞아요?” and asks whether all parts of the order are correct. It refers to the order items as a whole rather than to one item. You can reuse it before a statement to ask or say that all items have the same status.
맞아요 “맞아요” means “is correct” in “모두 맞아요?” and “matches” in “영수증과 맞아요.” It is used here to check whether the order is right and whether it agrees with the receipt. You can reuse it when confirming information or comparing an item with a reference.
영수증과 “영수증과” means “with the receipt” in “영수증과 맞아요.” 영수증 means “receipt,” and 과 marks the receipt as the reference it matches. This form is useful in a comparison pattern such as 영수증과 맞아요 when checking an order against a receipt.
제가 “제가” means “I” in “제가 음료를 들게요” and “제가 음식 봉투를 들게요.” It presents the speaker as the person who will carry an item, often when offering to take responsibility for it. You can reuse it before an action when clearly identifying yourself as the person who will do it.
음료를 “음료를” means “the drinks” in “제가 음료를 들게요.” 음료 means “drinks,” and 를 marks them as the object being carried. A reusable pattern is 음료를 들다 when talking about carrying drinks.
들게요 “들게요” means “I’ll carry it” or “I’ll take it” in “제가 음료를 들게요.” It is used when the speaker offers or says they will carry the drinks, and the same form can be used for another object. A reusable pattern is 제가 [object]를 들게요 when volunteering to carry something.
음식 “음식” means “food” in “음식 봉투를 들게요.” Here it specifies what kind of bag is being carried. You can reuse 음식 before a related noun to identify food or something associated with food.
봉투를 “봉투를” means “the bag” in “제가 음식 봉투를 들게요.” 봉투 means “bag,” specifically the bag holding the food here, and 를 marks it as the object being carried. A reusable pattern is 음식 봉투를 들게요 when offering to carry the food bag.
