Word by Word

화면은 “화면은” means “as for the screen” in this sentence. “은” sets the screen as the topic, and the same pattern can introduce the thing you are about to describe.

보이지만 “보이지만” says that the screen is visible, while leading into a contrasting point. The ending “지만” is useful when one fact is true but another fact follows.

스프레드시트 “스프레드시트” means “spreadsheet,” the file being shared in the meeting. It can be used before a noun to specify something related to a spreadsheet.

글자가 “글자가” refers to the spreadsheet’s written characters or text. “가” marks the text as the thing that looks small in “글자가 꽤 작아 보여요.”

꽤 “꽤” means “quite” or “rather,” indicating that the text looks noticeably small. It commonly comes before an adjective or description to strengthen it moderately.

작아 “작아” describes the text as small in “작아 보여요.” It connects the description “작다” to “보여요,” and can be used before another verb or expression in a similar description.

보여요 “보여요” means “looks” or “appears” here, describing how the text seems to the speaker. It is useful when giving a visual impression, as in “작아 보여요.”

그래도 “그래도” means “even so” or “though,” showing that the speaker can still zoom in despite the small text. It commonly introduces a response that remains valid after the previous point.

수는 “수는” presents the possibility of doing something, with emphasis that this option is available. In “확대할 수는 있어요,” it gives the sense of “I can do it, at least,” and the same pattern can express a possible option with contrast.

있어요 “있어요” completes “확대할 수 있어요,” meaning that zooming in is possible. After a verb form plus “수,” it is part of a common way to express ability or possibility.

그러면 “그러면” means “then” or “in that case,” referring to the consequence of zooming in. It commonly introduces what may happen or what someone will do next.

몇 “몇” means “a few” or “several” when asking or describing an unspecified small number. It comes before a counter such as “개” in “몇 개.”

개 “개” is the general counter used with individual items, so “몇 개” means “a few” items. It can follow a number or an expression such as “몇.”

열이 “열이” means “columns” as the subject of being pushed out of view. “이” marks the columns as the thing that may move outside the screen.

화면 “화면” means “screen” or “view” in this spreadsheet context. It appears in “화면 밖으로,” which describes something moving outside the visible screen area.

수치만 “수치만” means “only the figures,” limiting what needs to remain visible. “만” marks the figures as the only required item in this condition.

계속 “계속” means “continuously” or “still,” showing that the figures should remain visible without interruption. It commonly comes before a verb or descriptive expression.

보인다면 “보인다면” means “if they remain visible” in the condition set by the speaker. The ending “다면” introduces a hypothetical condition, and it can follow a statement about a possible situation.

괜찮아요 “괜찮아요” means “that is fine” or “that works” here, approving the proposed screen change. It is commonly used to accept an arrangement or say that something causes no problem.

그렇다면 “그렇다면” means “if that is the case” or “then,” referring to the condition just accepted. It commonly introduces a decision or next action based on the preceding information.

차이 “차이” means “difference” and refers here to the variance being discussed in the spreadsheet. It can combine with a noun such as “분석” to describe analysis of a difference.

보여 In “보여 드릴게요,” “보여” introduces the thing the speaker will show to the listener. Together with “드릴게요,” it forms a polite expression for offering or promising to show something.

드릴게요 “드릴게요” expresses the speaker’s polite promise or offer to do something for the listener. In “보여 드릴게요,” it makes the act of showing respectful toward the person receiving it.

수치가 “수치가” means “the figures” as the subject of supporting the point. “가” marks the figures as the evidence that performs this role in the sentence.

요점을 “요점을” means “the point” or “main idea” as the object supported by the figures. “을” marks the point as the target of that support.

뒷받침하긴 “뒷받침하긴” acknowledges that the figures do support the point, while preparing a contrast about the explanation. The ending “긴” gives the sense of “it is true that,” often followed by a limitation or opposing point.

하지만 “하지만” means “but” or “however,” linking the supporting evidence to the speaker’s criticism about missing context. It is a common way to introduce a contrasting statement.

설명에 “설명에” refers to the explanation as the area or part where more context is needed. “에” marks what the needed context belongs to or applies to.

각 “각” means “each,” referring separately to every projection. It is placed directly before a noun, as in “각 전망치.”

전망치의 “전망치의” means “of each projection” or “belonging to the projection.” “의” links the projection to the assumptions that serve as its basis.

근거가 “근거가” means “the basis” or “grounds” in the expression “근거가 되는 가정.” “가” marks the basis as the thing that serves a role for the assumptions.

되는 “되는” means “that serves as” in “근거가 되는 가정,” describing assumptions that function as the basis. It connects this description to the following noun and can be reused in similar defining expressions.

가정을 “가정을” means “the assumptions” as the object of mentioning. “을” marks the assumptions as the information the speaker will mention.

언급할게요 “언급할게요” means “I will mention,” presenting the speaker’s intention to mention the assumptions. The ending “할게요” is useful for stating a willing decision or promise about one’s own action.

앞선 “앞선” means “earlier” or “preceding,” referring to the discussion that happened before this point. It comes before a noun to identify something that came earlier.

논의를 “논의를” means “the discussion” as the thing some listeners missed. “을” marks the discussion as the object of 놓친.

놓친 “놓친” means “missed” in “앞선 논의를 놓친 분들,” describing people who did not hear or follow the earlier discussion. It appears before a noun to describe people or things affected by that missed event.

분들에게 “분들에게” means “to the people,” using a respectful word for people and marking them as the recipients of help. It is suitable when referring politely to listeners, participants, or other people.

도움이 “도움이” means “help” as the subject of becoming useful in “도움이 될 거예요.” “이” marks help as what the added explanation will provide.

될 “될” means “will be” or “will become” in the expression “도움이 될 거예요.” It is the form of “되다” used before the expectation expressed by “거예요.”

거예요 “거예요” presents the preceding situation as an expected result: the explanation will be helpful. In “도움이 될 거예요,” it is a common way to state a prediction or confident expectation politely.

전망치 “전망치” means “projection” or “forecast figure,” referring to a predicted value in the spreadsheet. It can be used as a noun by itself or before another noun to specify something related to a projection.

앞에 “앞에” means “before” or “in front of,” and here places the short explanation before the projections. It commonly marks a location or sequence position relative to a noun.

짧은 “짧은” means “short” or “brief,” describing the note as limited in length. It comes before a noun, as in “짧은 설명.”

설명을 “설명을” means “the explanation” or “note” as the object of adding. “을” marks the explanation as the thing being added before the projections.

덧붙이면 “덧붙이면” means “if one adds” or “by adding,” describing the condition under which the explanation should be enough. It commonly introduces an action whose result is stated in the following clause.

충분할 “충분할” means “will be sufficient” in “충분할 것 같아요.” It describes the added explanation as likely to be enough and comes before “것 같아요.”

것 “것” packages the preceding possibility of being sufficient as the situation being considered in “충분할 것 같아요.” This form commonly appears before “같아요” when expressing an impression or tentative judgment.

같아요 “같아요” means “seems” or “I think” here, making the judgment polite and somewhat tentative. In “충분할 것 같아요,” it presents the short note as likely to be sufficient rather than as an absolute claim.
