Questions & Answers about jeojjok geuneureseo jamkkan gati swija.

What does 저쪽 mean here, and how is it different from 저기?

저쪽 means that side / over there / that way, often with a sense of direction or area.

• 저쪽 그늘에서 = in the shade over there
• 저기 usually means there or that place, pointing to a location more generally.
• 저쪽 feels a little more like that side or that area over there.

So in this sentence, 저쪽 helps paint a picture of going to a shaded spot in that direction.

Why is 그늘에서 used instead of 그늘에?

Because -에서 marks the place where an action happens.

Here, the action is 쉬다 (to rest), so:

• 그늘에서 쉬다 = rest in the shade

Compare:

• 그늘에 있다 = be in the shade
• 그늘에서 쉬다 = rest in the shade

A useful shortcut:

• -에 often marks location for existence or destination
• -에서 often marks location for an action

What does 잠깐 do in the sentence?

잠깐 means for a moment / briefly / for a little while.

So:

• 잠깐 쉬자 = let’s rest for a bit
• 잠깐 같이 쉬자 = let’s rest together for a bit

It works like an adverb here, describing how long the resting will be.
