Word by Word

제안서 “제안서” means a proposal document in “제안서 초안을 완성했어요.” It is used before “초안” to specify what kind of draft it is. New example: 제안서를 검토해 주세요 means “Please review the proposal document.”
초안을 “초안을” means the draft as the object being completed in “제안서 초안을 완성했어요.” The ending “을” marks the draft as the object of “완성했어요”; the same form can be used with verbs such as 수정하다 when discussing a draft. New example: 초안을 수정했어요 means “I revised the draft.”
완성했어요 “완성했어요” means “finished” or “completed” here, referring to completing the proposal draft. It is the polite past form of 완성하다. It commonly follows the thing that was completed, as in “초안을 완성했어요.”
공유하기 “공유하기” means sharing in “공유하기 전에 검토해 볼게요.” It is the action of sharing used before “전에” to mean “before sharing.” New example: 파일을 공유하기 전에 확인해 주세요 means “Please check it before sharing the file.”
전에 “전에” means “before” in “공유하기 전에 검토해 볼게요.” Here it follows “공유하기” and places the review before the sharing. It can follow a noun or an action expressed with “-기,” as in “회의 전에” or “확인하기 전에.”
검토해 “검토해” means “review” or “examine” in “검토해 볼게요.” It is linked to “볼게요” to express taking a look or reviewing something. New example: 자료를 검토해 주세요 means “Please review the materials.”
볼게요 “볼게요” means “I’ll take a look” in “검토해 볼게요.” Together with “검토해,” it shows the speaker’s intention to review the draft before it is shared. This polite ending is useful when offering or undertaking an action for the listener.
서론 “서론” means the introduction of a document in “서론 부분을 확인해 주실 수 있어요?” It identifies the section the speaker wants checked. It commonly appears before “부분” when referring to a particular document section, as in “서론 부분.”
부분을 “부분을” means “the section” or “the part” as the object being checked in “서론 부분을 확인해 주실 수 있어요?” The ending “을” marks this section as the object of “확인해.” New example: 이 부분을 읽어 주세요 means “Please read this part.”
확인해 “확인해” means “check” or “confirm” in “확인해 주실 수 있어요?” It is connected to “주실 수 있어요” to ask whether the listener can check the introduction section as a favor. New example: 내용을 확인해 주세요 means “Please check the content.”
주실 “주실” contributes the meaning of doing something as a favor in “확인해 주실 수 있어요?” Its form shows respect toward the person being asked, and it is followed by “수 있어요” in this possibility question. The reusable pattern “-해 주실 수 있어요?” politely asks someone to do an action.
수 “수” is the possibility or ability component in “확인해 주실 수 있어요?” Together with “있어요,” it helps form the question “Can you check it for me?” The pattern “-할 수 있어요?” is commonly used to ask whether an action is possible.
있어요 “있어요” completes the possibility expression in “확인해 주실 수 있어요?” and helps mean “can” or “be able to” in this question. It follows “수” in the pattern “-할 수 있어요?” This pattern can be used with another action when asking about ability or possibility.
핵심 “핵심” means the core or main point in “핵심 내용은 명확해요.” It specifies which part of the content is clear. It commonly combines with nouns such as “내용” to identify the main point of a document or discussion.
내용은 “내용은” means “as for the content” in “핵심 내용은 명확해요.” Here the content is the topic, and “은” marks it for the comment that it is clear. New example: 내용은 이해했어요 means “I understood the content.”
명확해요 “명확해요” means “is clear” in “핵심 내용은 명확해요.” It gives positive feedback that the main content is easy to understand. It can follow the topic being evaluated, as in “설명이 명확해요.”
그런데 “그런데” means “but” or “however” in “그런데 그 부분이 너무 긴 것 같아요.” It introduces a concern after the speaker has said that the main idea is clear. It is useful for adding a contrasting comment in a conversation.
그 “그” means “that” in “그 부분이 너무 긴 것 같아요.” It points back to the section already being discussed rather than introducing a new section. It is placed before the noun it describes, as in “그 부분.”
부분이 “부분이” means “the section” or “the part” as the subject of the evaluation in “그 부분이 너무 긴 것 같아요.” The ending “이” marks the section as what seems too long. New example: 이 부분이 어려워요 means “This part is difficult.”
너무 “너무” means “too” in “너무 긴 것 같아요,” showing that the section seems longer than appropriate. It comes before the word it modifies, here “긴.” It can be used before another adjective to describe an excessive degree, as in “너무 어려워요.”
긴 “긴” means “long” in “너무 긴 것 같아요.” It is the form of 길다 used before “것” to describe the section’s length. The pattern “너무 긴” means “too long” before the rest of the expression.
것 In “긴 것 같아요,” “것” is part of the expression that presents something as seeming or appearing a certain way; it does not mean a separate physical thing here. Together, “긴 것 같아요” means “it seems to be long.” This pattern can follow another description when the speaker is giving an impression rather than a firm statement.
같아요 “같아요” completes “긴 것 같아요,” which means “seems or feels like it is long.” It softens the comment into an impression while giving feedback on the section. The pattern “-는 것 같아요” or “-ㄴ 것 같아요” is commonly used to say that something seems a certain way.
세부 “세부” contributes the meaning of detail in “세부 내용 일부를 다른 부분으로 옮길까요?” Together with “내용,” it identifies detailed content in the proposal. It is commonly placed before a noun to specify that the content concerns details.
내용 “내용” means content in “세부 내용 일부를 다른 부분으로 옮길까요?” Here it refers to the information contained in the proposal, especially its detailed information. It can combine with a modifier such as “세부” or “추가” to describe the kind of content.
일부를 “일부를” means “some of it” or “a portion” as the object being moved in “세부 내용 일부를 다른 부분으로 옮길까요?” The ending “를” marks this portion of the detailed content as the object of “옮길까요.” New example: 일부를 삭제할까요? means “Shall I delete part of it?”
다른 “다른” means “another” or “different” in “다른 부분으로 옮길까요?” It distinguishes the destination section from the section currently being discussed. It is placed before the noun it modifies, as in “다른 부분.”
부분으로 “부분으로” means “to another section” in “다른 부분으로 옮길까요?” The ending “으로” marks the destination or direction of moving the content. New example: 다른 곳으로 옮겨 주세요 means “Please move it to another place.”
옮길까요 “옮길까요” means “shall I move it?” in “세부 내용 일부를 다른 부분으로 옮길까요?” It asks for the listener’s suggestion or permission about moving part of the content. The pattern “-을까요?” can be used to propose an action or ask what should be done.
추가 “추가” means extra or additional in “추가 내용은 배경 부분에 넣어 주세요.” It specifies that the content is material added beyond the main content. It commonly comes before “내용” to form “추가 내용.”
배경 “배경” means background in “배경 부분에 넣어 주세요.” In this dialogue, it identifies the background section of the proposal as the destination for the extra details. It commonly appears before “부분” when naming a document section.
부분에 “부분에” means “in the section” or “into the section” in “배경 부분에 넣어 주세요.” The ending “에” marks the place where the additional content should be put. New example: 이 파일을 폴더에 넣어 주세요 means “Please put this file in the folder.”
넣어 “넣어” means “put” or “place” in “넣어 주세요.” It is linked to “주세요” to form a polite request to place the extra content in the background section. New example: 책상 위에 넣어 주세요 means “Please put it on the desk.”
주세요 “주세요” makes “넣어 주세요” a polite request meaning “please put it.” It follows an action form and asks the listener to carry out that action. The pattern “-해 주세요” is commonly used for polite requests.
수정해서 “수정해서” means “revise and” or “after revising” in “초안을 수정해서 다시 보내 드릴게요.” It links revising the draft to the following action of sending it back. The pattern “-해서” commonly connects two related actions, as in “확인해서 알려 주세요.”
다시 “다시” means “again” or “back” in “다시 보내 드릴게요.” Here it indicates that the revised draft will be sent back again after changes. It commonly comes before the verb describing the repeated action, as in “다시 확인해 주세요.”
보내 “보내” means “send” in “다시 보내 드릴게요.” It is connected to “드릴게요” to express the speaker’s polite intention to send the revised draft back. New example: 파일을 보내 주세요 means “Please send the file.”
드릴게요 “드릴게요” means “I will send it” politely in “다시 보내 드릴게요.” It presents the speaker’s intention to do the action for the listener, with respectful wording. The pattern “-드릴게요” is useful when politely offering to do something for someone.
새 “새” means “new” in “새 버전이 준비되면 보내 주세요.” It describes the version that has been revised from the earlier draft. It is placed directly before the noun it modifies, as in “새 버전.”
버전이 “버전이” means “the version” as the subject in “새 버전이 준비되면 보내 주세요.” The ending “이” marks the new version as what becomes ready. New example: 새 파일이 도착했어요 means “The new file arrived.”
준비되면 “준비되면” means “when it is ready” in “새 버전이 준비되면 보내 주세요.” It combines the idea of becoming ready with “-면,” which sets the condition or time for sending the new version. The pattern “준비되면 보내 주세요” can be reused when asking someone to send something once it is ready.
