예약을
예약을 means appointment here and is the object being changed in the request. Its citation form is 예약, and 을 marks it as the object. In a reception conversation, use 예약을 when talking about changing, checking, or confirming an appointment.
다른
다른 means another or different and describes the day the speaker wants to choose. It comes before the noun 날 in 날로. Use 다른 before a noun when selecting an alternative item, day, or option.
날로
날로 means to another day in this sentence, showing the destination of the change. Its citation form is 날, and 로 marks the day the appointment will be changed to. Use 날로 when explaining that something will be moved or changed to another day.
바꾸고
바꾸고 is the change part of 바꾸고 싶어요, meaning that the speaker wants to change the appointment. Its citation form is 바꾸다, and this form connects the action to the following expression of desire. The reusable pattern is 바꾸고 싶어요 when politely saying that you want to change something, such as an appointment.
싶어요
싶어요 expresses desire in 바꾸고 싶어요, so the whole expression means want to change. Its citation form is 싶다, but the desire meaning here comes from the complete construction with 바꾸고. Use this polite pattern after an action when asking for or stating something you want to do.
제가
제가 means I as the person who will check the calendar. It identifies the speaker as the subject of 확인해 드릴게요; the base first-person form is 저. At a service desk, use 제가 to make clear that you will personally handle the requested task.
달력을
달력을 means the calendar as the object being checked. Its citation form is 달력, and 를 marks it as the object. Use 달력을 with an action such as checking a schedule or looking for an available appointment.
확인해
확인해 means check or confirm and is the action offered in 확인해 드릴게요. Its citation form is 확인하다, and this form connects the checking action to the offer that follows. Use 확인해 드릴게요 when offering to check something for another person, especially in a service interaction.
드릴게요
드릴게요 marks a polite offer or promise to do something for the listener in 확인해 드릴게요. Its citation form is 드리다, and the full meaning of check for you comes from the complete expression, not from 드릴게요 alone. Use this ending after an action when committing to handle it for someone.
이번
이번 means this or current and specifies the current week in 이번 주. It helps identify which week the speaker is asking about. Use 이번 before a time noun when referring to the current period, such as the current week.
주
주 means week in 이번 주 후반에. Together, 이번 주 identifies the current week before the sentence specifies its latter part. Use 주 in time expressions when discussing appointments or availability during a week.
후반에
후반에 means during the latter part or later in, referring to the latter part of the current week. Its citation form is 후반, and 에 marks this period as the time when something is available. Use 후반에 after a time period when asking about or locating an opening later in that period.
시간이
시간이 means a time or appointment slot as the subject of the availability question. Its citation form is 시간, and 이 marks it as the thing whose existence or availability is being asked about. In this setting, 시간이 있나요? is a reusable way to ask whether an appointment time is available.
있나요
있나요 asks whether something exists or is available, here referring to another appointment time. Its citation form is 있다, and this is a polite question form. Use it after a noun when checking whether a time, place, or option is available.
오후에
오후에 means in the afternoon and specifies when the available time occurs. Its citation form is 오후, and 에 marks the time period. Use 오후에 after a day or time reference when arranging an appointment for the afternoon.
빈
빈 means available or unoccupied in 빈 시간이 있어요, describing a time with no appointment. Its citation form is 비다, and 빈 is the form used before the noun 시간. Use 빈 before a noun when describing an open space, seat, or appointment slot.
있어요
있어요 states that something exists or is available, here that an open afternoon appointment time exists. Its citation form is 있다, and this is a polite statement form. Use it after a noun to say that the item or option is present or available.
그
그 means that and points back to the appointment time just mentioned. In 그 시간이 괜찮아요, it identifies the proposed time the speaker is accepting. Use 그 before a noun when referring to a specific item already known in the conversation.
괜찮아요
괜찮아요 means is okay or works for me in 그 시간이 괜찮아요. Its citation form is 괜찮다, but the meaning of accepting the proposed time comes from the complete expression. Use it when agreeing to a suggested time, plan, or arrangement.
그날
그날 means that day and refers to the day selected for the rescheduled appointment. It is used in 그날 오후에 to connect that day with the afternoon visit. Use it when referring back to a day that has already been identified in the conversation.
갈
갈 expresses go or come in 갈 수 있어요, referring to the speaker’s ability to attend the appointment. Its citation form is 가다, and 갈 appears before 수 in this ability construction. Use 갈 수 있어요 to say that you can go to a particular place or appointment.
수
수 expresses possibility or ability inside 갈 수 있어요. It does not mean can by itself here; the full meaning comes from the construction with 갈 and 있어요. Use this construction after an action when saying that the action is possible.
변경할게요
변경할게요 means I will change or update it, referring here to the appointment. Its citation form is 변경하다, and the form expresses the service worker’s polite commitment in 예약을 변경할게요. Use it when stating that you will carry out an agreed action for the current request.
같은
같은 means same and describes the documents in 같은 서류를 가져가야 하나요. Its citation form is 같다, and 같은 is the form used before the noun 서류. Use 같은 before a noun when asking whether the previously used or mentioned item is still required.
서류를
서류를 means documents as the object the speaker may need to bring. Its citation form is 서류, and 를 marks it as the object of 가져가야 하나요. At a reception desk, use 서류를 when asking about or discussing documents needed for an appointment.
가져가야
가져가야 means must bring or take in 가져가야 하나요, asking whether the documents need to be taken to the appointment. Its citation form is 가져가다, and the necessity meaning is completed by the whole expression 가져가야 하나요. Use this pattern with an object when asking whether something must be brought or taken somewhere.
하나요
하나요 completes the polite question 가져가야 하나요, turning the preceding necessity expression into a question about what is required. Its citation form is 하다, but the full meaning should be understood from the complete construction. Use this kind of question when checking whether an action is necessary.
카드와
카드와 means card and introduces the first item in the list of things to bring. Its citation form is 카드, and 와 links it to the next noun, 작성한 양식. Use this form when joining two or more nouns in a practical instruction or checklist.
