Questions & Answers about suhamureul annae deseukeue matgil su isseoyo.

What does 수하물 mean?

수하물 means “baggage” or “luggage.” It’s a more formal term often used in airports and hotels to refer to passengers’ checked or stored bags.

What are the roles of the particles 를 and 에 in this sentence?

• 를 marks 수하물 as the direct object of 맡기다 (“to entrust”).
• 에 indicates location, showing where the action takes place: 안내 데스크에 = “at the information desk.”

Why is the verb 맡기다 appearing as 맡길 here?

Before attaching 수 있다 (can/be able to), the verb takes its infinitive/attributive form with -(으)ㄹ.
맡기다 → 맡길 + 수 있다 → 맡길 수 있어요 (“can leave/entrust”).

What does the grammar pattern Verb stem + -(으)ㄹ 수 있다 express?

This pattern expresses ability, possibility, or permission in Korean.
Example: 맡길 수 있어요 = “(You) can leave/entrust (your luggage).”

Why can’t I say 수하물을 맡을 수 있어요 instead of 맡길 수 있어요?

맡다 means “to take charge of” or “to receive as a duty,” while 맡기다 is its causative form meaning “to entrust (something) to someone.” Since you’re entrusting your baggage to the desk staff, you need 맡기다.

Can I use a different word instead of 안내 데스크 for “information desk”?

Yes. Common alternatives include:
• 수하물 보관소 (luggage storage)
• 수하물 센터 (luggage center)
• 짐 보관함 (luggage locker)
But in many airports or hotels, 안내 데스크 is the general info/help desk where you can also check luggage.
