낮에 simply means in the daytime or during the day.

Adding 는 makes it 낮에는, which gives it a topic/contrast feeling. It often suggests something like:

• as for the daytime
• during the day, at least
• when it came to the daytime

In this sentence, 낮에는 can imply a contrast with another time, such as morning or evening, even if that contrast is not stated explicitly.

So:

• 낮에 더워져서... = During the day, it got hot, so...
• 낮에는 더워져서... = As for during the day, it got hot, so...

The second sounds a little more natural if the speaker is setting the scene or implying contrast.

더워져서 comes from the verb 더워지다, which means to become hot.

Breakdown:

• 덥다 = to be hot
• 더워지다 = to become hot
• 더워져서 = because it became hot / and it became hot, so...

So this is not just saying it was hot, but specifically it got hot or became hot.

That change in condition is important here. The idea is:

• it became hotter during the day
• therefore the speaker wore short sleeves instead

This is because 덥다 is a ㅂ-irregular adjective.

When a vowel is added, the ㅂ changes to 우/오-type pronunciation and spelling. So:

• 덥다
• stem: 덥-
• before a vowel, it changes: 더우-
• then it becomes 더워

That is why you get forms like:

• 더워요
• 더워서
• 더워지다

So 더워지다 is formed from 덥다 in an irregular but very common pattern.

This is a very common question.

• 더워서 = because it is/was hot
• 더워져서 = because it became hot / because it got hot

So:

• 날씨가 더워서 반팔을 입었어.
  = It was hot, so I wore short sleeves.

• 낮에는 더워져서 반팔을 입었어.
  = During the day, it got hot, so I wore short sleeves.

더워져서 emphasizes a change. Maybe it was cooler earlier, but later it became warm enough to switch clothes.

Yes, they are very commonly used as nouns in everyday Korean.

Literally:

• 긴팔 = long sleeve
• 반팔 = short sleeve

In actual use, they often stand for:

• 긴팔 옷 = long-sleeved clothes/shirt
• 반팔 옷 = short-sleeved clothes/shirt

Korean often leaves out the general noun when it is obvious from context. So in this sentence:

• 긴팔 대신 반팔을 입었어
  means I wore short sleeves instead of long sleeves

It does not have to mean one specific shirt; it could refer generally to long-sleeved versus short-sleeved clothing.

대신 means instead of or in place of.

So:

• 긴팔 대신 = instead of long sleeves
• 반팔을 입었어 = wore short sleeves

Together:

• 긴팔 대신 반팔을 입었어 = I wore short sleeves instead of long sleeves

A useful pattern is:

• A 대신 B = B instead of A

Examples:

• 커피 대신 차를 마셨어.
  = I drank tea instead of coffee.
• 버스 대신 걸어갔어.
  = I walked instead of taking the bus.

Because 반팔 is the direct object of 입었어.

In this sentence:

• 긴팔 대신 = an adverbial phrase meaning instead of long sleeves
• 반팔을 = the thing that was worn

So the structure is:

• [긴팔 대신] [반팔을] 입었어

Only 반팔 gets the object particle because that is what the speaker actually wore.

You can think of 긴팔 대신 as modifying the action, not acting as the direct object itself.

It can imply either depending on context, but here it is most naturally understood as wore or ended up wearing.

• 입다 can mean to put on clothes or to wear clothes
• 입었어 is the past casual form

In this sentence, because the speaker is explaining a choice caused by the weather, English often translates it as:

• I wore short sleeves
• I put on a short-sleeved shirt

Both are possible, but wore is usually the smoother translation.

입었어 is the casual/informal ending.

Compare:

• 입었어 = casual
• 입었어요 = polite
• 입었습니다 = formal

So this sentence sounds like something said to:

• a friend
• a family member
• someone younger
• in a diary or casual conversation

If you want to make it polite, you could say:

• 낮에는 더워져서 긴팔 대신 반팔을 입었어요.

The subject is omitted because Korean often leaves out subjects when they are obvious from context.

In English, we usually need to say I, he, she, etc. In Korean, that is often unnecessary.

So this sentence could mean:

• I wore short sleeves instead of long sleeves
• He/She wore short sleeves instead of long sleeves

But in normal conversation, context usually makes it clear that the speaker is talking about themselves.

This is very natural Korean.

Yes. In 더워져서, the ending -아서/-어서 connects the two clauses and usually gives a sense of because, so, or and then as a result.

Here:

• 낮에는 더워져서 = because it got hot during the day
• 긴팔 대신 반팔을 입었어 = I wore short sleeves instead of long sleeves

So the sentence has a clear cause-and-result relationship.

A natural English sense is:

• It got hot during the day, so...
• Because it got hot during the day, ...

Usually, yes.

Because the speaker chose 더워져서 rather than just 더워서, it suggests a change over time. That often implies:

• earlier, it was not so hot
• later, during the day, it became hot

So the sentence may suggest something like:

• it was cool enough for long sleeves at first
• then it warmed up
• so the speaker switched to short sleeves

That unstated contrast is one of the key nuances of the sentence.
