   More detail

   대시보드에서 means “on the dashboard.” The particle 에서 marks the place or context where an action takes place; it is attached to 대시보드, “dashboard.” Example: 앱에서 파일을 엽니다 means “I open a file in the app.” 사용자 지정 means “custom” here. It describes the following noun in 사용자 지정 보기, “custom view.” The expression is useful for describing an item or setting defined by the user. 보기 is the noun “view” in this interface context. It refers to a display or arrangement that can be saved, rather than necessarily to the physical act of looking. 사용자 지정 보기 therefore means “custom view.” 저장할 comes from 저장하다, “to save.” The verb stem combines with -(으)ㄹ to form 저장할, which occurs before 수 있다 in the possibility pattern 저장할 수 있다, “can save” or “be able to save.” Here it does not describe a completed saving action by itself. 수 있으면 좋겠습니다 expresses a polite wish: “it would be good if it were possible.” The reusable pattern 동사-(으)ㄹ 수 있으면 좋겠습니다 means “I would like to be able to …” or “It would be nice if … could ….” 좋겠습니다 is the polite form of 좋다, “to be good,” and -으면 connects the desired possible situation to that evaluation. Together, 사용자 지정 보기 is what is to be saved, while 저장할 수 있으면 좋겠습니다 expresses the wish that saving it should be possible. 대시보드에서 places this desired function on the dashboard. In the supplied translation, the dashboard is presented as the system that would save the custom views: “I would like the dashboard to save custom views.” Korean does not separately state a subject for 저장하다 in this utterance, so that actor is supplied by the intended translation rather than by an overt Korean subject.

   More detail

   여러 means “several” and indicates more than one without stating an exact number. It modifies 사용자, giving the intended subject “several users.” 사용자가 is 사용자 (“user”) plus the subject marker 가. The noun 사용자 itself does not mark plurality here; 여러 supplies the plural meaning in this sentence. For example, 사용자가 로그인했습니다 means “A user logged in,” while 여러 사용자가 로그인했습니다 means “Several users logged in.” 평소 means “usual” or “customary,” as in a normal routine. Here it describes 설정, not the users: the meaning is “usual settings.” 설정 is a noun meaning “setting,” “configuration,” or “setup.” In this sentence it refers to the configuration the users normally use. 평소 설정 is a reusable noun phrase meaning “usual settings/setup.” 유지할 comes from the base verb 유지하다, “to maintain” or “to keep.” The ending -ㄹ makes the verb modify a following noun and is also the form used in -(으)ㄹ 수 있다, the construction for ability or possibility. Thus 유지할 수 있는 방법 is a “way that can keep/maintain” something, more naturally “a way to be able to keep” it. 수 있는 is part of -(으)ㄹ 수 있다, meaning “can” or “be able to.” In this sentence, 유지할 수 있는 means “that allows [users] to keep.” The form 있는 is the modifier form of 있다 within this construction. For example, 이 설정을 저장할 수 있습니다 means “You can save this setting.” 방법 means “way,” “method,” or “means.” It is the noun requested by the users: they asked for a way to keep their usual setup. A reusable pattern is -할 수 있는 방법, “a way to be able to do -.” 요청했습니다 comes from 요청하다, “to request.” The form combines past time with the formal polite ending -습니다, so it means “requested” or “asked for” here. The subject is 여러 사용자, and the requested object is 방법. Together, 여러 사용자가 sets up “several users” as the subject. 평소 설정을 유지할 수 있는 방법 means “a way to keep their usual setup,” with 설정 marked as the object of 유지하다. 요청했습니다 states that those users requested that method. The whole utterance therefore means: “Several users have asked for a way to keep their usual setup.” The formal polite ending suits a professional or written report.

3. 주간 검토 중에 필터를 계속 바꾸면 시간이 낭비됩니다.

   Switching filters repeatedly wastes time during weekly reviews.

   주간

   weekly

   검토

   review

   중에

   during

   필터

   filter

   계속

   continuously

   바꾸면

   if [someone] changes

   시간

   time

   낭비됩니다

   is wasted

   More detail

   주간 means “weekly” here and modifies 검토, forming “weekly review.” It is related to 주 (“week”); 주간 is a useful form for describing something that occurs or is organized by week. Example: 주간 보고서 means “weekly report.” 검토 means “review” or “checking.” In this sentence it refers to the review activity itself, not necessarily a particular document. It is a noun that can also combine with 하다: 검토하다 means “to review.” Example: 문서를 검토합니다. — “I review the document.” 중에 marks the time period during which something happens: “during.” 중 means “middle” or “in progress,” and -에 marks the relevant time or situation. The pattern N 중에 is reusable with an activity or period: 회의 중에 means “during the meeting.” Here, 주간 검토 중에 means “during weekly reviews.” 필터 means “filter.” It is a loanword used for a filtering option or setting. Example: 필터를 선택합니다. — “I select a filter.” The particle 를 after it marks 필터 as the object of the following action. 계속 means “continuously” or “repeatedly.” It shows that the changing is ongoing or happens again and again, rather than only once. Example: 계속 확인합니다. — “I keep checking.” 바꾸면 means “if [someone] changes” or, in this sentence, “when changing.” The base verb is 바꾸다, “to change” or “to replace.” The ending -면 makes a condition: 바꾸다 → 바꾸면, “if/when [someone] changes.” Korean does not mark the person in this verb form, so the actor is understood from context rather than from 바꾸면 itself. Here it applies to changing the filters. 시간 means “time.” In the observed form 시간이, the particle 이 marks 시간 as the subject of the following expression: it is the thing that gets wasted. Example: 시간이 필요합니다. — “Time is needed.” 낭비됩니다 means “is wasted.” Its base verb is 낭비되다, “to be wasted,” and -ㅂ니다 gives a formal polite present-style ending. The 되다 form presents 시간 as what ends up wasted, rather than stating that a particular person wastes it directly. Example: 자원이 낭비됩니다. — “Resources are wasted.” Together, 주간 검토 중에 sets the time, 필터를 계속 바꾸면 gives the condition of repeatedly changing filters, and 시간이 낭비됩니다 states the result that time is wasted. The full utterance therefore means: “Switching filters repeatedly wastes time during weekly reviews.” The sentence uses a general conditional pattern: 계속 V-면 결과 — “if/when someone keeps V-ing, [a] result occurs.”

4. 저장된 보기를 사용하면 그 반복 작업을 더 빠르게 처리할 수 있습니다.

   Saved views could make that routine faster.

   저장된

   saved

   보기

   사용하면

   그

   that

   반복

   repetitive

   작업

   task

   더 빠르게

   faster

   처리할 수 있습니다

   can process

   More detail

   저장된 means “saved” here. It comes from 저장되다 (“to be saved”) and modifies the noun that follows it. The ending -된 is the modifier form of this passive verb; it does not mean that the view itself saved something. 보기 means “view,” in the sense of a saved display or configuration. In Korean, a noun can directly modify another noun, so 저장된 보기 is “a saved view.” 사용하면 means “if/when [someone] uses.” Its base form is 사용하다 (“to use”), and -(으)면 marks a condition. The user or actor is not stated in this sentence; Korean commonly leaves a recoverable subject unspoken. Example: 이 기능을 사용하면 편리합니다. — “It is convenient if you use this feature.” 그 is an attributive demonstrative meaning “that,” and it modifies 반복 작업. Here the fixed translation identifies the task as “that routine” task. 그 itself does not show whether the noun is singular or plural. 반복 means “repetition” or “repetitive.” It is a noun that modifies the following noun. 작업 means “task” or “work.” Together, 반복 작업 is “repetitive work/a routine task,” rather than two separate actions. 더 빠르게 means “faster” or “more quickly.” 빠르게 is the adverbial form of 빠르다 (“to be fast”), and 더 adds the meaning “more.” The adverb describes how the task is processed. For example, 더 빠르게 읽습니다. means “I read faster.” 처리할 수 있습니다 means “can process.” The lexical verb is 처리하다 (“to process”); 처리할 is its form before 수 있다. The pattern V-(으)ㄹ 수 있다 expresses ability or possibility, while 있습니다 is the formal-polite present form of 있다. Thus 처리할 수 있습니다 presents processing as possible, not as a command. Example: 이 파일을 처리할 수 있습니다. — “We can process this file.” Taken together, 저장된 보기 (“saved view”) is the resource, and 사용하면 introduces the condition “if/when [it] is used.” That condition makes it possible to 그 반복 작업 (“that routine task”) 더 빠르게 처리 (“process faster”). The complete meaning is: “Saved views could make that routine faster.” This is a polite, practical style suitable for explaining a workflow or feature.

5. 보기를 팀원들과 공유할 수 있다면 유용할 것 같습니다.

   It would be useful if views could be shared with teammates.

   보기를

   views

   팀원들과

   with teammates

   공유할

   share

   수 있다면

   if can

   유용할

   useful

   것 같습니다

   seems likely

   More detail

   보기를 means “views” here: 보기 is the noun used for a view, and 를 marks it as the object of sharing. The form itself does not explicitly mark plural number; the context supports the English plural. Example: 새 보기를 만들었습니다. — “I created a new view.” 팀원들과 means “with teammates.” 팀원 means “team member,” 들 can mark a plural group, and 과 marks association or accompaniment here. -과 is used after a consonant; after a vowel, the corresponding form is -와. Example: 동료와 이야기했습니다. — “I talked with a colleague.” 공유할 comes from 공유하다, “to share.” The ending -ㄹ makes the verb modify a following noun or construction with a prospective meaning. In 공유할 수 있다, it is part of the reusable ability pattern 동사 + -(으)ㄹ 수 있다, “can do.” 수 있다면 combines that ability pattern with the conditional ending -면: -(으)ㄹ 수 있다면 means “if it is possible to do” or “if one can do it.” Here, the possible action is sharing the views with the teammates. Example: 오늘 만날 수 있다면 알려 주세요. — “If you can meet today, please let me know.” 유용할 comes from the descriptive adjective 유용하다, “to be useful.” Its -ㄹ form modifies 것 in the pattern 유용할 것 같다, literally “seems likely to be useful.” This is not an inflection of the noun 것; 유용하다 is the word that takes the -ㄹ form. 것 같습니다 is a polite, somewhat tentative assessment pattern: 것 같다 means “seems” or “appears likely,” and 같습니다 is its formal-polite ending here. It presents the usefulness as an assessment rather than a flat assertion. Example: 이 방법이 더 유용할 것 같습니다. — “This method seems more useful.” Together, 보기를 팀원들과 공유할 수 있다면 sets the condition “if the views can be shared with teammates,” and 유용할 것 같습니다 gives the assessment “it seems likely to be useful.” The complete meaning is: “It would be useful if views could be shared with teammates.”

   More detail

   공유 means “sharing” here. It is the noun form of the verb 공유하다, “to share,” and can also modify another noun: 공유 기능 means “sharing feature.” Example: 파일을 공유해요. — “I share a file.” 기능 means “feature” or “function.” In 공유 기능, it identifies the feature related to sharing. 기능 is a noun; it is not the verb “to function.” 에는 combines 에 with 는. 에 can mark a place, target, or area of application, while 는 adds a topic or contrastive effect. Here 공유 기능에는 sets “the sharing feature” as the area under discussion: “for/in the sharing feature.” 권한 means “permission” or “authorization.” In this sentence it concerns permission control, not a person who is permitted. Example: 권한을 확인하세요. — “Please check the permissions.” 규칙 means “rule.” 권한 규칙 is a noun-noun combination meaning “permission rules”: the rules governing permissions. The subject marker 이 after 규칙 marks this noun phrase as the subject of 필요하다. 필요하므로 comes from 필요하다, “to be necessary/needed,” plus -(으)므로, a formal connective meaning “because” or “since.” The form needed is 필요하므로 because the preceding subject, 권한 규칙, is treated as the reason for the next clause. A useful contrast is 필요해서, which also means “because it is needed” but is generally more conversational. 그 means “that” as a demonstrative determiner. In 그 부분, it identifies a contextually understood part; the fixed translation supports “that part” without specifying a more precise referent. 그 must appear before the noun it determines. 부분 means “part” or “portion.” 그 부분 therefore means “that part.” Example: 이 부분을 다시 설명해 주세요. — “Please explain this part again.” 별도로 is an adverb meaning “separately” or “apart.” It modifies the handling described later, so it says that the part can be handled separately rather than together with something else. 다룰 is based on 다루다, “to handle,” “to deal with,” or “to treat.” The ending -(으)ㄹ creates the form 다룰 before 수 in the ability construction 다룰 수 있습니다. The stem 다루- takes ㄹ here because the stem ends in a vowel. Example: 이 문제를 다룰 수 있어요. — “I can deal with this problem.” 수 있습니다 is the formal-polite pattern V-(으)ㄹ 수 있다, expressing ability or possibility. In 다룰 수 있습니다, it means “can handle/treat.” 있습니다 is the polite formal form of 있다, while 수 is the noun used in this construction; it is not itself a translation of “can.” Together, 공유 기능에는 means “for the sharing feature,” and 권한 규칙이 필요하므로 means “because permission rules are needed.” 그 부분은 marks “that part” as the topic, 별도로 says “separately,” and 다룰 수 있습니다 says “can be handled.” The whole utterance is therefore: “Sharing would need permission rules, so we could treat it separately.”

   More detail

   개인용 means “for personal use.” It functions as a modifier before a noun, so 개인용 버전 is “a version for personal use,” rather than a version identified by a person. A useful related pattern is 업무용 “for work/business use”; the ending -용 marks intended use. 버전 is the noun “version.” Here it is the thing whose availability is being considered. Example: 최신 버전 means “the latest version.” 만 있어도 combines 만, which limits the choice to “only,” with 있어도, the -어도 form of 있다 “exist/be available.” Together, 개인용 버전만 있어도 means “even if only a personal-use version is available.” The -어도 ending presents a condition that is sufficient despite a limitation; it does not itself assert a numeric count. 제 is the possessive form “my” used here. It is the contracted form of the polite 저의; the following noun makes the possessive relationship explicit. In 제 문제, it modifies 문제, not the verb. 문제 means “problem” in this sentence. With 의, 문제의 means “of the problem,” and the full noun phrase 제 문제의 means “of my problem.” Example: 문제의 원인 means “the cause of the problem.” 대부분 means “most” or “the greater part.” With the object marker in 대부분을, it marks the part that is solved. 대부분 can also modify a noun directly, as in 대부분의 사람 “most people”; the construction in this sentence instead treats “most” as the object-like amount being solved. 해결할 comes from the verb 해결하다 “to solve” and is its attributive form with -ㄹ. It appears before 수 in the ability construction 해결할 수 있다, literally “there is a way/possibility of solving,” meaning “can solve.” The ending is attached to 해결하다, not to 문제 or 대부분. 수 있을 것입니다 completes that construction. 수 is the dependent noun used in the pattern -을 수 있다 “can/be able to”; 있을 is the future or prospective form of 있다, and 것입니다 gives a formal future or expectation. In this context, 해결할 수 있을 것입니다 expresses that solving this is expected to be possible, matching the conditional force of “would be able to solve” in the fixed translation. The sentence does not state the solver with a separate subject marker; in the fixed translation, the personal version is understood as the thing that would solve the problem, while the speaker is identified by 제 as the owner of the problem. Taken together, 개인용 버전만 있어도 sets a concessive condition: even having only a personal-use version would be enough for the stated result. 제 문제의 대부분을 identifies most of the speaker’s problem as the object, and 해결할 수 있을 것입니다 says that solving it is expected to be possible. The whole utterance therefore means: “Even a personal version would solve most of my problem.”

8. 그렇다면 첫 단계에서는 비공개 저장 보기에 초점을 맞출 수 있겠습니다.

   초점을 맞출

   More detail

   그렇다면 means “then” or “in that case.” It connects the conclusion here with the preceding situation: given that situation, the speaker presents the next proposal or result. It is a conditional-context expression, not simply a word for chronological time. 첫 means “first” and is the ordinal form used before a noun. Compare 첫 단계, “the first step,” with 두 번째 단계, “the second step.” 단계 is the noun “step” or “stage”; together, 첫 단계 identifies the initial stage of a process. 비공개 means “private” or “not public.” It describes the access status of the following noun here. 저장 보기 is a compact noun phrase meaning “saved view”: 저장 means “saving” or “saved” in this compound, and 보기 means a “view” or displayed view. The phrase refers to a view that has been saved, with 비공개 specifying that it is private. As a separate example, 공개 보기 can mean “public view”; this is an example of the contrast, not an additional fact about the conversation. 초점을 맞추다 is the reusable Korean construction “to focus on.” Literally, it uses 초점, “focus,” with 맞추다, whose base meaning includes “to set or adjust something to fit.” In this construction, the object marked by 에 is what receives the focus. Here, 비공개 저장 보기에 초점을 맞추다 means “to focus on private saved views.” The form 맞출 is the ㄹ-form of 맞추다, used before 수 있다 in this pattern: 초점을 맞출 수 있다, “can focus on.” 수 있겠습니다 expresses possibility or feasibility in a polite, measured way. In this sentence, it gives the suggestion the meaning “could” rather than stating an unconditional plan. The pattern verb-(으)ㄹ 수 있겠습니다 can be reused for a polite assessment such as 검토할 수 있겠습니다, “could review it.” The polite ending 겠습니다 can also add a forward-looking or tentative assessment; its exact force depends on context. Taken together, 그렇다면 marks the conclusion from the preceding situation, 첫 단계에서는 means “at the first step,” and 비공개 저장 보기에 초점을 맞출 수 있겠습니다 means “could focus on private saved views.” The whole utterance therefore means: “Then the first step could focus on private saved views.”
