What does 마대 mean here?

마대 refers to a large sack or bag, often a coarse bag used for things like trash, soil, grain, or construction materials.

So in this sentence, it is probably talking about a sack/bag that someone might leave somewhere.

Why is it 마대가 and not 마대를?

가 is the subject particle, so 마대가 means the sack/bag as the thing being described.

Here, the first part of the sentence is:

마대가 무겁더라도

So 마대 is the subject of 무겁다 (to be heavy), not the direct object of the whole sentence.

If it were 마대를, that would mark it as the object, which would not fit this structure as naturally in this sentence.

What does 무겁더라도 mean?

무겁더라도 means even if it is heavy or although it is heavy.

It comes from:
