폭염
폭염 means a heatwave here, the extreme heat that is expected to continue. Use it for unusually severe hot weather, as in 폭염이 계속돼요, a new example meaning “The heatwave continues.”
이
이 marks 폭염 as the subject of the sentence. It is used after a noun ending in a consonant, as in 폭염이 계속될 것으로 예상돼요.
계속될
계속될 means “will continue” in 폭염이 계속될 것으로 예상돼요. It describes the expected continuation before the nominalized part of the sentence; a reusable pattern is 비가 계속될 것 같아요, a new example meaning “It seems the rain will continue.”
것
것 turns 계속될 into a noun-like idea: the event or fact that the heatwave will continue. In 계속될 것으로 예상돼요, it helps present that idea as what is expected.
으로
으로 links the nominalized idea 계속될 것 to 예상돼요, presenting it as the expected situation. The form 것으로 belongs to the construction 계속될 것으로 예상돼요, so the full construction means “is expected to continue.”
예상돼요
예상돼요 means “is expected” or “is anticipated” here. It presents 계속될 것으로 as an expectation rather than a certain fact; a reusable pattern is 내일 비가 올 것으로 예상돼요, a new example meaning “Rain is expected tomorrow.”
그럼
그럼 means “then” and connects this decision to the expectation in the previous line. Use it when drawing a practical conclusion, as in 그럼 지금 출발해요, a new example meaning “Then let’s leave now.”
야외
야외 means outdoors or an outdoor setting. Here it describes 일정, so 야외 일정 means an outdoor schedule or plan; a reusable expression is 야외 활동, a new example meaning “outdoor activity.”
일정
일정 means a schedule or planned activity here. In 야외 일정은, it refers to the outdoor part of the day’s plan; use it with a topic such as 오늘 일정, a new example meaning “today’s schedule.”
은
은 marks 야외 일정 as the topic of the sentence. It is used after a noun ending in a consonant and sets the outdoor plan as the thing being discussed.
하루

중
중 means “among” or “during” in 하루 중 더 선선한 시간. It indicates that the cooler time is one part of the day; a reusable pattern is 여러 시간 중 하나, a new example meaning “one among several times.”
더
더 means “more” and makes 선선한 comparative in meaning: cooler than other parts of the day. Use it before an adjective when comparing degree, as in 더 편한 시간, a new example meaning “a more convenient time.”
선선한
선선한 means pleasantly cool or cooler, especially in contrast with the heat. It describes 시간 in 더 선선한 시간; a reusable expression is 선선한 바람, a new example meaning “a cool breeze.”
시간
시간 means “time” here, specifically a period suitable for the outing. In 더 선선한 시간에, it identifies when the plan should happen; use it with a time expression such as 아침 시간, a new example meaning “morning time.”
에
에 marks the time when the plan is made: 더 선선한 시간에. It commonly follows a time expression to mean “at” or “during,” as in 저녁에 만나요, a new example meaning “Let’s meet in the evening.”
계획해야겠어요
계획해야겠어요 means “we should plan” or “I think we should plan” here. It expresses a practical conclusion or intention, and a reusable pattern is 일정을 다시 계획해야겠어요, a new example meaning “We should plan the schedule again.”
시장
시장 means “market” here, the place the speaker wanted to visit. Use it as a place noun, as in 시장에 가요, a new example meaning “I go to the market.”
가고
가고 contributes the idea “to go” before 싶었지만 in 시장에 가고 싶었지만. It connects the action 가다 with the expression for wanting to do it; a reusable pattern is 여행을 가고 싶어요, a new example meaning “I want to go on a trip.”
싶었지만
싶었지만 means “wanted to, but” here, introducing a past desire followed by a contrasting concern. Use it before the reason or situation that changes the plan, as in 쉬고 싶었지만 일이 많았어요, a new example meaning “I wanted to rest, but there was a lot of work.”
사람
사람 means “person” or “people” here. In 사람이 많으면, it refers to the number of people in the market; a reusable expression is 사람이 많아요, a new example meaning “There are many people.”
많으면
많으면 means “if there are many” here, referring to people and therefore “if it is crowded.” It presents a condition before the possible result; a reusable pattern is 시간이 많으면 더 천천히 해요, a new example meaning “If there is plenty of time, let’s do it more slowly.”
힘들
힘들 means “difficult” or “hard” in 사람이 많으면 더 힘들 수도 있겠어요. It describes the possible difficulty caused by the crowds before 수, and a reusable expression is 일이 힘들어요, a new example meaning “The work is difficult.”

수 expresses possibility in 힘들 수도 있겠어요. It is part of the pattern 힘들 수도 있다, which means something may be difficult; a reusable pattern is 늦을 수도 있어요, a new example meaning “It might be late.”
도
도 adds the meaning “even” or “also” to the possibility in 힘들 수도 있겠어요. Here it leaves open the possibility that the situation may be difficult, as well as other possible outcomes.

때
때 means “when” or “the time when” in 그렇게 더울 때는. It introduces the situation in which the advice applies; use it after a clause, as in 바쁠 때 연락하지 마세요, a new example meaning “Don’t contact me when I’m busy.”
는
는 marks 그렇게 더울 때 as the topic or setting for the advice. In 때는, it gives the sentence the meaning “when it is that hot, as for that situation.”

을
을 marks 사람이 적은 시간 as the object of 고르고. It is used after a noun ending in a consonant, showing which time is chosen.

해요
해요 completes 피해야 해요 and makes the obligation polite: “we should or must avoid it.” In this dialogue, it is not an independent action but the polite ending of the preceding obligation expression.
