Word by Word

이 이 means “this” and points to the document near the speaker: 이 서류를 means “this document” as the item being copied. Use 이 before a noun when referring to a nearby or currently indicated thing, such as 이 서류.
서류를 서류를 means “the document” as the object of the copying action, and 를 marks 서류 as what is copied. At a service desk, use a document noun plus 를 when stating which document someone should copy or handle.
복사해 복사해 means “copy” in 복사해 주실 수 있을까요?, where it introduces the action requested from the listener. The form comes from 복사하다 and is used before 주다 or 주세요 to connect the copying action with a request, as in 복사해 주세요.
주실 주실 shows the listener’s action of doing something as a favor for the speaker in the polite request 복사해 주실 수 있을까요? It contributes the “for me” or favor meaning to the request, rather than meaning “copy” by itself. Use a verb plus 주시다 when politely asking another person to do something for you.
수 수 means ability or possibility in 복사해 주실 수 있을까요?, so the whole expression asks whether making the copy is possible. It appears in the reusable possibility pattern verb plus 수 있다 or 수 있을까요, especially when making a polite request.
있을까요 있을까요 completes the tentative polite question in 복사해 주실 수 있을까요?, meaning “could it be possible?” Together with 수, it makes the request less direct and suitable for speaking to a service-desk worker. Use 수 있을까요 when politely asking whether someone can do something.
먼저 먼저 means “first” and shows that seeing the original must happen before the copying process. It commonly comes before the action that should happen earlier, as in 먼저 원본을 봐야 합니다. At a service desk, use it to explain the first required step.
원본을 원본을 means “the original document” as the object that the worker needs to see, with 를 marking the object. Use 원본을 when distinguishing the original from a copy, especially in a document-handling process.
봐야 봐야 means “need to see” in 먼저 원본을 봐야 합니다, expressing that seeing the original is required first. It comes from 보다 and combines with 합니다 to state a requirement formally. Use the pattern 먼저 + object + 봐야 합니다 when explaining a required first step.
합니다 합니다 is the formal statement ending in 먼저 원본을 봐야 합니다. With 봐야, the full sentence formally states that seeing the original is necessary; 합니다 by itself does not mean “need.” Use this ending for clear, formal instructions or requirements at a service desk.
신청서를 신청서를 means “the request form” as the object to be completed, and 를 marks the form as the object of 작성하다. Use a form name plus 를 when asking or saying what must be filled out, as in 신청서를 작성해야 하나요?
작성해야 작성해야 means “need to complete or fill out” in 신청서를 작성해야 하나요? It expresses that completing the request form may be required. Use a document or form object before 작성해야 when asking about a required procedure.
하나요 하나요 is the polite question ending in 작성해야 하나요?, meaning “do I need to?” in this context. Together with 작성해야, it asks the service-desk worker to confirm whether completing the form is required. Use 해야 하나요 after an action when checking a procedure or obligation.
작성해 작성해 means “complete” or “fill out” in 작성해 주세요. It is the connecting form of 작성하다 before 주세요, linking the requested action to a polite request. Use a form or document object plus 작성해 주세요 when asking someone to complete it.
주세요 주세요 makes 작성해 주세요 a polite request to complete the form. The whole expression means “please complete the form,” while 주세요 supplies the request meaning after 작성해. Use the pattern verb plus 아 or 어 주세요 when asking someone politely to do an action.
그러면 그러면 means “then” or “in that case” and links completing the form with the worker’s ability to make the copy. It signals that the next result follows from the preceding condition or action. Use 그러면 to respond to information and state what can happen next.
제가 제가 means “I” as the subject in 그러면 제가 복사해 드릴 수 있습니다, identifying the service-desk worker as the person who can make the copy. Use 제가 when taking responsibility for an action or distinguishing the speaker as the one who will do it.
드릴 드릴 contributes the polite “for you” meaning in 복사해 드릴 수 있습니다, describing the worker’s copying action as something done for the customer. It comes from 드리다 and appears before 수 in this possibility expression. Use a verb plus 드리다 when offering or promising to do something for another person politely.
있습니다 있습니다 is the formal statement ending in 복사해 드릴 수 있습니다, where the full expression means “can make the copy for you.” The possibility comes from 수 있다, while 있습니다 gives the statement a formal service-desk tone. Use this ending for formal confirmations of what is possible.
도장이 도장이 means “the stamp” as the subject in 도장이 찍힌 페이지만, identifying what has been stamped on the page. The full phrase 도장이 찍힌 describes a page bearing a stamp, while 이 marks 도장 as the subject of that description. Use a noun plus 이 or 가 when identifying what performs or undergoes the action in a descriptive clause.
찍힌 찍힌 means “stamped” in 도장이 찍힌 페이지만, modifying 페이지만 to identify the page with the stamp. It comes from 찍히다 and describes the completed mark on the page. Use 도장이 찍힌 plus a noun when identifying a document or page that bears a stamp.
페이지만 페이지만 means “only the page” in 도장이 찍힌 페이지만 필요합니다, limiting the request to the stamped page. 만 adds the meaning “only” to 페이지. Use a noun plus 만 when specifying that no other item is needed.
필요합니다 필요합니다 means “is needed” in 도장이 찍힌 페이지만 필요합니다, formally stating that only the stamped page is necessary. Use the pattern an item plus 필요합니다 when clearly stating what is required in a service situation.
그 그 means “that” in 그 페이지, referring to the page that has just been identified. It comes directly before the noun it describes. Use 그 plus a noun when pointing back to an already known or mentioned item.
복사하고 복사하고 means “copy and” in 그 페이지만 복사하고 나머지 페이지는 함께 보관하겠습니다, connecting copying the selected page with the next action. It comes from 복사하다 and links two related actions in sequence. Use a verb plus 고 when saying that one action is connected to another.
나머지 나머지 means “the remaining” or “the other part,” referring here to the pages that are not copied. In 나머지 페이지는, it identifies the pages left after the selected page is copied. Use 나머지 plus a noun when separating what remains from what was already selected.
페이지는 페이지는 means “as for the page or pages,” setting the remaining pages as the topic in 나머지 페이지는 함께 보관하겠습니다. 는 highlights this group in contrast with the page that will be copied. Use a noun plus 는 when introducing or contrasting the topic of the next action.
함께 함께 means “together” and describes keeping the remaining pages as one group in 함께 보관하겠습니다. It also appears in 모두 함께 돌려드리겠습니다, where everything will be returned together. Use 함께 before an action when people or items are handled as a group.
보관하겠습니다 보관하겠습니다 means “will keep” or “will store” in 나머지 페이지는 함께 보관하겠습니다, formally stating the worker’s intention to keep the other pages together. It comes from 보관하다 and gives a polite, definite promise about handling the documents. Use it when explaining that an item will be kept safely for a period of time.
조심해서 조심해서 means “carefully” in 조심해서 다뤄 주세요, describing how the original should be handled. It connects the careful manner with the action 다뤄 주세요. Use 조심해서 before an action when asking someone to perform that action with care.
다뤄 다뤄 means “handle” in 원본을 조심해서 다뤄 주세요, referring to physically handling the original document. It comes from 다루다 and appears before 주세요 to form a polite request. Use an object plus 다뤄 주세요 when asking someone to handle that item carefully.
모두 모두 means “everything” or “all of them” in 모두 함께 돌려드리겠습니다, referring to all the documents involved. It emphasizes that no item will be left out of the return. Use 모두 before a verb when referring to the complete group of relevant items.
돌려드리겠습니다 돌려드리겠습니다 means “will return to you” in 모두 함께 돌려드리겠습니다, with a polite service-oriented meaning. It expresses the worker’s formal promise to give the documents back to the customer. Use an object plus 돌려드리겠습니다 when promising to return someone’s item politely.
