외출할
In 외출할 때, 외출할 means going out or leaving home, as the action connected to 때. It is the form of 외출하다 used before a following noun. A common reuse is the same verb-before-때 pattern when describing when an action happens.
때
In 외출할 때, 때 means the time or occasion when someone goes out. Together with the preceding action, it identifies when the bag will be taken. Use this pattern to talk about the time of an activity or event.
가져갈
In 가져갈 가방, 가져갈 means to take along, describing the bag that will be taken. It is the form of 가져가다 placed before 가방. This form is useful when identifying an item intended to be taken somewhere.
가방을
가방을 means the bag as the object being packed. 을 marks 가방 as the object of 챙기고 있어 in this sentence. Use the same object-marking pattern when an action is done to a bag or another concrete item.
챙기고
In 챙기고 있어, 챙기고 contributes the meaning of packing or getting something ready, and -고 connects it to 있어. The whole expression says that the speaker is currently packing the bag. This is useful when describing an action that is in progress.
있어
In 챙기고 있어, 있어 completes the expression that shows the packing is currently in progress. It does not carry the full meaning of packing by itself here. Use this ending after an action expression when saying that the action is ongoing.
아직
아직 means still or yet, showing that the question concerns items that have not been brought so far. Here it frames the remaining things needed before leaving. It is useful when checking incomplete preparation or an unfinished task.
무엇을
무엇을 means what, marked as the object of 가져가야 해. It asks which item still needs to be taken. Use it before a verb when asking what object is involved in an action.
더
더 means more or additionally, asking whether anything else needs to be brought. Here it adds to the items already packed or mentioned. Use it when requesting an additional amount or item.
가져가야
In 가져가야 해, 가져가야 means must or need to take along. The form connects the action of taking something with the necessity expressed by 해. Use this construction when explaining that an action is required.
해
In 가져가야 해, 해 completes the expression meaning need to or have to take something. The necessity comes from the whole expression 가져가야 해, not from 해 alone. This is useful for giving or asking about practical requirements.
충전기와
충전기와 means a charger and, linking the charger to the next item in the list. 와 shows that another item follows in the same list. Use this linking form when listing nouns together.
간식
간식 means snack, one of the items the speaker has packed. It appears as a list item between 충전기와 and 우비가. A new example using this noun would be a sentence about packing a snack for an outing.
우비가
우비가 means a raincoat, marked as an item that the speaker has. 가 marks 우비 as the subject of 있어 in this list. It is useful when naming an item that is available or packed.
날씨가
날씨가 means the weather, marked as the subject of 바뀌어도. The sentence considers the possibility that the weather changes during the outing. Use this subject-marking pattern when describing what the weather does.
바뀌어도
바뀌어도 means even if it changes, referring here to the weather. The ending -어도 presents a condition that does not change the conclusion that follows. Use it when saying that a result remains valid despite a possible change.
그거면
In 그거면 충분할 거야, 그거면 means if it is that or with that, referring to the items just mentioned. 면 sets those items up as the condition for judging whether they are enough. This is useful when evaluating whether a particular set of things will suffice.
충분할
In 충분할 거야, 충분할 means will be enough or should be sufficient. It describes the expected adequacy of the packed items for the outing. Use this form when making a prediction about whether something will be sufficient.
거야
In 충분할 거야, 거야 completes a conversational expression of expectation, so the speaker says the items will be enough. The prediction comes from the whole expression 충분할 거야, not from 거야 alone. This is useful for giving a confident but conversational assessment.
물
물 means water, the substance being considered for the outing. In 물 한 병, it is followed by a quantity expression for one bottle. Use it when naming water as something to bring, buy, or drink.
한
In 한 병, 한 means one or a single, specifying the quantity of the bottle. It comes directly before the counter noun 병. Use this position when indicating one item counted by a noun such as 병.
병을
병을 means a bottle as the object of 가져갈까. 을 marks the bottle in 물 한 병을 as the item the speaker is considering taking. Use this object-marking pattern when asking about bringing one bottle or another object.
가져갈까
가져갈까 means should I take it along or shall I bring it, making a suggestion or asking for advice. The form presents taking the extra bottle as a possible action. Use it when asking whether you should do something practical.
걷는
In 걷는 데, 걷는 means walking and describes the activity connected with 데. It is the form used before 데 to identify the activity under discussion. This is useful when talking about the time, difficulty, or circumstances of walking.
데
In 걷는 데, 데 refers to the situation or activity of walking. The expression links walking with the amount of time it may require in the rest of the sentence. Use it after an activity when discussing what happens during or because of that activity.
예상보다
예상보다 means than expected, setting the expected duration as the point of comparison. Here the walk may take longer than the person originally thought. Use it when comparing an actual or possible result with an expectation.
오래
오래 means for a long time or long, and it modifies 걸릴 in this sentence. Together, 오래 걸릴 describes a walk that may take a long time. This expression is useful when discussing how much time an activity requires.
걸릴
In 걸릴 수 있으니, 걸릴 means will take or may require in relation to time. It connects the possible duration of the walk to 수. Use it with a time expression when explaining that an activity may require a certain amount of time.
수
In 걸릴 수 있으니, 수 marks the possibility that the walk will take longer. The possibility is expressed by the whole construction 걸릴 수 있다 or its connected form here, not by 수 alone. Use this construction when an outcome is possible rather than certain.
있으니
In 걸릴 수 있으니, 있으니 connects the possible longer walk to the advice that follows, meaning since it may happen or because it may be so. It gives the reason for bringing a bottle. Use this ending when presenting a reason before advice or a conclusion.
병
In 한 병 가져가, 병 means bottle and identifies what should be brought. It is the item counted by 한 in the advice. Use it with a quantity word when referring to bottled drinks or other contents sold by the bottle.
가져가
가져가 means take it along or bring it, expressed as direct advice to the other person. Here it refers back to one bottle of water. Use this conversational imperative when telling someone to take an item somewhere.
내
내 means my and directly describes 가방이. It shows that the bag belongs to or is associated with the speaker. Use it before a noun when identifying something as the speaker's.
가방이
가방이 means the bag, marked as the subject of 꽉 찼어. The sentence describes the condition of the speaker's bag. Use this subject-marking pattern when stating what condition an object is in.
꽉
꽉 means completely or tightly, emphasizing that there is no much space left. In 꽉 찼어, it strengthens the meaning of being full to capacity. Use it with a filling or closing expression when something is packed or closed tightly.
찼어
In 꽉 찼어, 찼어 says that the bag is full or filled up. Together with 꽉, it describes the bag as having reached its capacity. This expression is useful when explaining why no more items can easily fit.
너무
너무 means too or overly in 너무 무겁지는 않아, referring to an excessive degree of heaviness. The speaker acknowledges the bag's weight while saying it is not excessive. Use it before an adjective when judging whether a quality has gone beyond a comfortable level.
무겁지는
In 무겁지는 않아, 무겁지는 means as for being heavy or heavy in particular, with 는 adding a contrastive focus. The sentence says the bag is not too heavy, despite being full. Use this form when denying one particular quality or aspect.
않아
In 무겁지는 않아, 않아 completes the negative expression saying that the bag is not too heavy. The negation applies to the whole adjective expression 무겁지는 않다. Use this conversational negative ending after an adjective or verb when describing something as not being or not happening.
그럼
그럼 means then or in that case, drawing a conclusion from the bag being full but not too heavy. It introduces the speaker's resulting assessment. Use it at the beginning of a response when moving from given information to a conclusion.
이제
이제 means now or at this point, marking the stage reached after the bag has been checked and packed. It helps show that the preparation is complete. Use it when referring to what can happen from the present point onward.
나갈
In 나갈 준비가 됐네, 나갈 means to go out or leave, describing the action for which the preparation is complete. It is the form of 나가다 used before 준비. Use this pattern when saying someone is ready for a particular action.
준비가
준비가 means preparation or readiness, marked as the subject of 됐네. In 나갈 준비가 됐네, it refers to being ready to go out. Use this expression when describing whether preparation for an activity is complete.
됐네
In 준비가 됐네, 됐네 recognizes that the preparation has become complete and that the person is now ready. 네 gives the statement a conversational tone of noticing or confirming the situation. Use it when acknowledging a newly reached state in conversation.
