Word by Word

대시보드 “대시보드” means dashboard, the screen being discussed as having a bug here. It is used for a software screen that presents information or charts, as in “대시보드에 버그가 있어요” for “There is a bug in the dashboard.”
에 In “대시보드에”, “에” marks the place where the bug exists: in the dashboard. This location marker commonly follows a place or system, as in “화면에 문제가 있어요” (“There is a problem on the screen”).
버그 “버그” means a bug or software error in this dialogue. It identifies the problem in “대시보드에 버그가 있지만”, and it can be used with “있다” to say that a bug exists.
가 In “버그가 있지만”, “가” marks “버그” as the subject of “있다”, showing what exists. It commonly follows the subject when stating that something is present or has a certain condition.
있지만 “있지만” means “although there is” or “there is, but” here: “버그가 있지만” introduces a problem before giving a reassuring next point. It combines the existence expressed by “있다” with a contrast, and it is useful when acknowledging one fact before adding another.
기술적인 “기술적인” means technical in “기술적인 내용 없이”, referring to details that require technical knowledge. It describes a following noun, so “기술적인 내용” means technical information or details.
내용 “내용” means content or details here, specifically the technical details that can be left out. It commonly combines with descriptive words such as “기술적인 내용” and with “없이” to mean without those details.
없이 In “기술적인 내용 없이”, “없이” means without and shows that the explanation does not include technical details. It follows the thing that is absent, as in “설명 없이” (“without an explanation”).
설명할 “설명할” is the form of “설명하다” used before “수” in “설명할 수 있어요”, meaning “can explain”. The pattern “...을 설명할 수 있어요” is used to say that someone can explain something.
수 In “설명할 수 있어요”, “수” represents the possibility or ability to explain; the whole expression means “can explain”. It follows a verb form such as “설명할” in the reusable pattern “동사-(으)ㄹ 수 있어요” (“can do something”).
있어요 In “설명할 수 있어요”, “있어요” completes the expression for ability and makes it polite: “can explain”. The same form can also mean “there is” in another construction, but here it follows “수” to express possibility or ability.
설명해 “설명해” means explain in “설명해 주세요.” Together with “주세요”, it makes a polite request asking someone to explain something, such as “이 내용을 설명해 주세요” (“Please explain this content”).
주세요 In “설명해 주세요”, “주세요” turns the preceding action into a polite request: “Please explain.” It is commonly placed after an action form when asking another person to do something.
