Word by Word

주요 “주요” means main or primary here and describes “주요 업무”. It is useful before a noun when identifying the most important item in a work situation, such as the main task.
업무 “업무” means work or a work task in “주요 업무를 끝냈어요”. It is commonly used for duties or tasks in a workplace, especially with a marker such as “업무를” when the work is acted on.
를 In “주요 업무를 끝냈어요”, “를” marks “주요 업무” as the object of “끝냈어요”, the thing that was finished. Use it after an object when describing an action performed on that object.
끝냈어요 “끝냈어요” says that the speaker finished the main work in “주요 업무를 끝냈어요”. This polite spoken form is useful when reporting that a task has been completed.
공유하기 “공유하기” means sharing in “공유하기 전에”, where the action of sharing is treated as something that can be placed before another action. The pattern “V-기 전에” is used when saying that one action happens before another, such as reviewing something before sharing it.
전에 “전에” means before in “공유하기 전에”. It follows an action or time expression to identify what happens earlier, and here it sets the review as earlier than sharing.
다른 “다른” means another or different and describes “다른 사람” in the request for someone else to review the work. It is commonly placed directly before a noun when distinguishing one person or thing from another.
사람 “사람” means person in “다른 사람에게”. Here it refers to the person who will be asked to review the work. Use it after a describing word such as “다른” when referring to a person generally.
에게 In “다른 사람에게 검토를 부탁하세요”, “에게” marks the person who receives the request. It is used after a person or role when directing an action or request to that person.
검토 “검토” means review in “검토를 부탁하세요”. Here it is the review being requested from another person. It is useful with “부탁하다” when asking someone to review or check something.
부탁하세요 “부탁하세요” politely tells someone to make a request, and in “검토를 부탁하세요” it means to ask someone for a review. Use this polite request form when giving a workplace instruction about asking another person for help or review.
누구 “누구” means who in “누구에게 검토를 부탁해야 하나요?”. It asks which person should receive the request, and it commonly appears before “에게” when asking who to contact.
부탁해야 “부탁해야” expresses that a request needs to be made in “검토를 부탁해야 하나요?”. It appears before “하나요” in a question about what request should be made or is required.
하나요 “하나요” makes “검토를 부탁해야 하나요?” a polite question about what should be done. This ending is useful when asking for guidance about an action or responsibility.
계획 “계획” means plan in “계획이 바뀔 수 있으니”. It is the plan that may change, and it is commonly used as the subject of a sentence about future work.
이 In “계획이 바뀔 수 있으니”, “이” marks “계획” as the subject of the possibility that follows. It shows which thing may change in this workplace explanation.
바뀔 “바뀔” means change in “계획이 바뀔 수 있으니”. It comes before “수” in a construction expressing that the plan may change, and it is useful when describing a possible change to a plan or arrangement.
수 In “바뀔 수 있으니”, “수” is part of the construction expressing possibility: the plan may change. It is used after a verb form such as “바뀔” before a form of “있다” when saying that something can happen.
있으니 “있으니” connects the possibility in “계획이 바뀔 수 있으니” to the following advice, meaning because the plan may change. This form is useful when giving a reason for an instruction or recommendation.
팀장 “팀장” means team leader in “팀장에게 물어보세요”. It identifies the workplace person who should be asked because the plan may change. It can be followed by “에게” when directing a question to that role.
물어보세요 “물어보세요” politely tells someone to ask or check with the team leader in “팀장에게 물어보세요”. It is useful when advising someone to get information directly from a person.
짧은 “짧은” means short and describes “짧은 메시지” and later “짧은 메모”. It is placed before a noun when describing something with limited length or content.
메시지 “메시지” means message in “짧은 메시지도 준비할까요?”. Here it is an additional written item the speaker may prepare. It is commonly used for a message sent or given to another person.
도 In “짧은 메시지도 준비할까요?”, “도” means also or too and adds the short message to the preparation being considered. It is attached to the noun that is included in addition to something already discussed.
준비할까요 “준비할까요?” asks politely whether the speaker should prepare something, here “짧은 메시지도”. It is useful when offering to do an action or asking for permission to do it.
무엇 “무엇” means what in “무엇이 바뀌었는지”. It asks for the identity of the thing that changed and is used here as the subject of that embedded question.
바뀌었는지 “바뀌었는지” refers to what changed in “무엇이 바뀌었는지와 파일을 어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”. The ending places this question inside a larger sentence, where the speaker asks someone to explain its answer.
와 In “무엇이 바뀌었는지와 파일을 어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”, “와” connects two pieces of information that should be explained. Here it means and, linking the change information with the file-location information.
파일 “파일” means file in “파일을 어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”. It is the item whose location and accessibility need to be explained. In this sentence it is followed by the object marker “을”.
을 In “파일을 어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”, “을” marks “파일” as the object of finding. It identifies the file as the thing someone wants to locate.
어디 “어디” means where in “어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”. It asks for the place connected with finding the file and is commonly followed by a location marker such as “에서”.
에서 In “어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”, “에서” marks the place where the file can be found. It is used after a location when describing an action that takes place there.
찾을 “찾을” means find in “찾을 수 있는지”. It comes before “수” in the possibility construction asking whether the file can be found, and it is useful with a place expression such as “어디에서”.
있는지 In “파일을 어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”, “있는지” completes an embedded question about whether finding the file is possible. Together with “찾을 수”, it lets the speaker ask for information about access to the file.
설명하세요 “설명하세요” politely instructs someone to explain the information in “무엇이 바뀌었는지와 파일을 어디에서 찾을 수 있는지”. It is useful when asking a colleague to make changes and file access clear to another person.
부탁하고 “부탁하고” means ask or request and in “검토를 부탁하고 짧은 메모를 추가할게요” it links the request for review to the next action. The “-고” connection is useful for listing actions performed in sequence or as part of the same plan.
메모 “메모” means note in “짧은 메모를 추가할게요”. Here it is a short written item that the speaker will add to support the handoff. It is commonly used with “추가하다” when adding a note to existing information.
추가할게요 “추가할게요” means I will add in “짧은 메모를 추가할게요”. It expresses the speaker’s intention or commitment to add the note, and it is useful when confirming a task the speaker will take responsibility for.
그러면 “그러면” means then or in that case in “그러면 인계가 더 명확해질 거예요”. It connects the planned review and note to the expected result, and it is useful when stating a consequence after discussing an action.
인계 “인계” means handoff in “인계가 더 명확해질 거예요”. Here it refers to passing the work and its information to another person. It is used as the subject of the expected improvement.
가 In “인계가 더 명확해질 거예요”, “가” marks “인계” as the subject of becoming clearer. It shows that the handoff, rather than another item, is expected to improve.
더 “더” means more in “더 명확해질 거예요”. It increases the degree of clarity, showing that the handoff will be clearer than before. It commonly appears before an adjective or change-of-state expression.
명확해질 “명확해질” means become clearer in “인계가 더 명확해질 거예요”. It describes a change toward greater clarity and appears before “거예요” when predicting that result.
거예요 In “명확해질 거예요”, “거예요” expresses a polite expectation or prediction that the handoff will become clearer. The pattern “V-(으)ㄹ 거예요” is useful when describing what is expected to happen.
