그치면 comes from the verb 그치다, which means to stop, to come to an end, or to let up.

The ending -면 means if or when. It connects two clauses:

• 비가 그치면 = if/when the rain stops
• 빨래를 베란다에 다시 널어요 = I hang the laundry out on the veranda again

So -면 is used for a condition or a situation that happens first, followed by the result or action in the second clause.

In this sentence, it feels very natural to translate it as when the rain stops, even though if is also possible grammatically.

Here, 비가 uses the subject particle -가, which simply marks rain as the subject of 그치다:

• 비가 그치다 = the rain stops

Using -는 would add contrast or topic emphasis, like as for the rain or the rain, at least. That could work in some contexts, but the neutral, natural form here is 비가 그치면.

So:

• 비가 그치면 = neutral, standard
• 비는 그치면 = unnatural in most normal situations

Yes, 널다 can mean to spread out, but it is also the standard verb used for hanging laundry out to dry.

So in this sentence:

• 빨래를 널다 = to hang out the laundry

This is a very common Korean expression. Even though English uses hang, Korean uses 널다 for laying or hanging laundry out so it can dry.

Examples:

• 빨래를 널어요. = I hang out the laundry.
• 빨래를 걷어요. = I bring in / gather the laundry.

빨래 usually means laundry or washing. In this sentence, it refers to the laundry / the clothes that were washed.

So:

• 빨래를 널다 = to hang out the laundry
• 빨래를 하다 = to do the laundry

It does not necessarily mean the act of washing here. It means the washed clothes or laundry items being hung out.

Korean often uses the present tense for future actions, especially when talking about plans, routines, or what someone will do once a condition is met.

So 비가 그치면 빨래를 베란다에 다시 널어요 literally looks like:

• If/when the rain stops, I hang the laundry out on the veranda again

But in natural English, it usually means:

• When the rain stops, I’ll hang the laundry out on the veranda again.

This is very common in Korean. The present ending -어요 does not always mean present time only.

다시 means again.

In this sentence:

• 베란다에 다시 널어요 = hang it out on the veranda again

It comes before the verb it modifies, which is normal in Korean. Adverbs like 다시 usually go before the verb.

You could think of the sentence as:

• When the rain stops, I hang the laundry on the veranda again.

The again suggests that the speaker had already hung it out once, then probably brought it in because it started raining, and will put it out again after the rain stops.

베란다 means veranda, balcony, or a similar space attached to a home. It is a loanword based on veranda.

The particle -에 marks the location where the action happens or the destination of placement.

So:

• 베란다에 널어요 = hang it out on the veranda / in the veranda area

In Korean homes, 베란다 often refers to an enclosed balcony-like utility area where people dry clothes.

Because 빨래 is the thing being hung out, it is the direct object of 널다.

• 빨래를 널어요 = I hang the laundry out

Here:

• 빨래 = laundry
• -를 = object marker
• 널어요 = hang out / spread out

So the structure is very straightforward:

• subject/condition: 비가 그치면
• object: 빨래를
• location: 베란다에
• adverb: 다시
• verb: 널어요

Yes. Korean very often leaves out subjects when they are clear from context.

So although the sentence does not explicitly say I, the meaning is naturally understood as something like:

• When the rain stops, I’ll hang the laundry out on the veranda again.

Depending on context, it could also mean we, she, my mom, etc. Korean frequently omits subjects if the listener can figure them out.

Yes, Korean word order is flexible as long as the verb stays at the end and the particles make the roles clear.

For example, these are all possible with slightly different emphasis:

• 비가 그치면 빨래를 베란다에 다시 널어요.
• 비가 그치면 빨래를 다시 베란다에 널어요.
• 비가 그치면 베란다에 빨래를 다시 널어요.

They all mean roughly the same thing. The original sentence is very natural.

Korean often moves adverbs and phrases around for emphasis or flow, but the verb usually stays last.

널어요 is in the polite informal style, often called -아요/-어요 style.

It is polite and very common in everyday conversation.

Here is the same verb in a few styles:

• dictionary form: 널다
• polite: 널어요
• plain/casual: 널어
• formal: 넙니다

So the sentence sounds like normal polite spoken Korean.

The verb is written 널어요, from 널다.

In actual pronunciation, it is commonly heard close to 너러요 because of how Korean sounds flow together.

This kind of sound change is normal in Korean conjugation and pronunciation. Even if you write 널어요, the spoken form may sound smoother than the spelling suggests.

For learners, the important thing is:

• recognize the written form as 널어요
• get used to hearing it in connected speech

Yes. Grammatically, -면 can often be translated as either if or when, depending on context.

• if it stops raining focuses more on the condition
• when it stops raining sounds more natural if the speaker expects it to stop

In this sentence, both are possible, but when the rain stops is probably the most natural English translation in everyday context.

The sentence breaks down like this:

• 비가 = rain + subject marker
• 그치면 = if/when it stops
• 빨래를 = laundry + object marker
• 베란다에 = on/to the veranda
• 다시 = again
• 널어요 = hang out

So the pattern is:

[condition] + [object] + [location] + [adverb] + [verb]

A very literal gloss would be:

If the rain stops, the laundry on the veranda again hang.

A natural English version is:

When the rain stops, I’ll hang the laundry out on the veranda again.
