내일
'내일' means tomorrow in this invitation. It is a time word placed before the planned activity, as in '내일 만나요' for meeting tomorrow.
사진
'사진' means a photo or photography in this lesson, depending on the surrounding words. In '사진 산책', it describes a walk focused on taking photos; in '사진 찍는 연습', it is part of the activity 'taking photos'.
산책에
'산책에' means to or on the walk in '사진 산책에 같이 갈래요?'. The particle 에 marks the destination or activity one is going to, as in going to a meeting or event.
같이
'같이' means together and shows that the speaker wants to go with the listener. It commonly comes before a verb, as in '같이 가요' for going together.
갈래요
'갈래요?' asks whether the listener would like or intends to go, so it works as a friendly invitation here. It is a useful conversational pattern for suggesting a shared activity.
찍는
'찍는' means taking photographs in '사진 찍는 연습'. It is the form of 찍다 used before a noun to describe the activity, as in '사진 찍는 시간' for photo-taking time.
연습을
'연습을' means practice and marks practice as the object of 해야 해요 in '사진 찍는 연습을 더 해야 해요'. The pattern 'N을/를 하다' is used for doing an activity or practice.
더
'더' means more and shows that the speaker needs an increased amount of practice. It is placed before the word or action being increased, as in '더 연습해요' for practicing more.
해야
'해야' expresses the required action in '연습을 더 해야 해요'. It comes from 하다 and is used before 해요 in the common obligation pattern '해야 해요', meaning need to do something.
해요
'해요' completes the obligation expression '해야 해요' here, giving the meaning need to do or have to do. The same pattern can follow an activity noun, as in '공부해야 해요' for needing to study.
아침
'아침' means morning and identifies when the 햇빛이 is being discussed. It can be used before a noun for a morning-related time or condition, as in '아침 시간' for morning time.
햇빛이
'햇빛이' means sunlight and marks sunlight as the subject being evaluated in '아침 햇빛이 ... 좋을 것 같아요'. The particle 이 shows what is expected to be good for the photos.
거리
'거리' means street in '거리 사진', referring to photos of streets or street scenes. It can be placed before 사진 to specify the kind of photos being taken.
사진에
'사진에' means for the photos in '거리 사진에 더 좋을 것 같아요'. The particle 에 marks the thing for which the sunlight is expected to be better, as in '이 카메라는 여행 사진에 좋아요' as a new example.
좋을
'좋을' means to be good or better in the expected situation described by '좋을 것 같아요'. It is the form of 좋다 used before 것 in this expectation pattern.
것
'것' is the noun in '좋을 것 같아요', where the whole expression presents something as an expectation or impression. It does not alone mean that the sunlight will be better; its meaning comes from the construction with 좋을 and 같아요.
같아요
'같아요' makes the statement sound like an impression or prediction, so '좋을 것 같아요' means it seems or I think it will be better. This is a useful polite pattern for expressing a cautious opinion.
우리
'우리' means we or our, and its exact meaning here depends on the following expression. In '우리 뭐부터 찍을까요?', it refers to the two speakers together; in '우리 사진', it means our photos.
뭐부터
'뭐부터' means what first and asks which subject should be chosen as the starting point. The pattern '뭐부터 + verb' is useful when deciding the first task or item.
찍을까요
'찍을까요?' asks what the speakers should photograph, so it is a polite suggestion for deciding together. The pattern '무엇을 할까요?' can be used to ask what to do next.
오래된
'오래된' means old in '오래된 건물'. It describes a noun and is useful for identifying buildings, objects, or places that have existed for a long time.
건물부터
'건물부터' means starting with the buildings, specifically the old buildings in this line. The particle 부터 marks the first item in an order, as in beginning with one task before others.
찍을
'찍을' means to photograph in '찍을 수 있어요'. It is the form of 찍다 used before 수 in the ability or possibility construction, so the full phrase means can photograph.
수
'수' is the possibility or ability component of '찍을 수 있어요'. It does not alone mean can; together with the preceding verb form and 있어요, it expresses that photographing the buildings is possible.
있어요
'있어요' completes '찍을 수 있어요' and makes it mean can photograph or are able to photograph. The reusable pattern is 'verb-(으)ㄹ 수 있어요' for saying that an action is possible.
작은
'작은' means small and describes the camera in '작은 카메라'. It is a noun-modifying form used before an object or person being described.
카메라와
'카메라와' means camera and, linking the camera with 여분 배터리 in the list of things the speaker will bring. The particle 와 connects nouns, as in '책과 펜' as a new example.
여분
'여분' means extra or spare in '여분 배터리'. It identifies the battery as an additional one kept for use when the main battery is not enough.
배터리를
'배터리를' means the battery and marks it as an object of 가져갈게요 in '여분 배터리를 가져갈게요'. The particle 를 marks what the speaker will bring.
가져갈게요
'가져갈게요' means I will bring it and presents the speaker's intention or commitment to bring the camera and battery. The pattern 'N을/를 가져갈게요' is useful when promising to take an item to a planned place.
거리가
'거리가' means the streets, with the particle 가 marking them as the subject of becoming crowded in '거리가 붐비기 전에'. It identifies what will be crowded before the meeting.
붐비기
'붐비기' means becoming crowded in '거리가 붐비기 전에'. It is the form of 붐비다 used before 전에, and the pattern 'verb-기 전에' means before doing something or before a state occurs.
전에
'전에' means before and sets the time limit for meeting in '거리가 붐비기 전에'. After an action or change, 'verb-기 전에' is used to say before that event.
만나요
'만나요' means let's meet in this context because the speaker is suggesting a meeting. It is a polite, friendly way to propose meeting at an agreed time or place.
그러면
'그러면' means then or in that case and connects the earlier plan with its result. Here it introduces what the speakers can do after meeting and taking photos.
나중에
'나중에' means later and places the comparison after the photo walk. It is a time adverb that can come before an action, as in saying that something will be done later.
사진을
'사진을' means the photos and marks them as the object of 비교할 in '우리 사진을 비교할 수 있어요'. The particle 을 shows what the speakers will compare.
비교할
'비교할' means to compare in '사진을 비교할 수 있어요'. It is the form of 비교하다 used before 수 in the pattern expressing the ability to compare the photos.
