A natural breakdown is:

• 먼저 = first, first of all
• 자원봉사자 = volunteer
• 명단 = list, roster, name list
• -을 = object marker
• 정확하게 = accurately, carefully, correctly
• 확인해요 = check / confirm

So the structure is basically:

First + volunteer list + object marker + accurately + check

Korean often puts the object before the verb, so the verb comes at the end.

자원봉사자 명단 is a noun-noun combination.

• 자원봉사자 = volunteer
• 명단 = list / roster

Together, it means the volunteer list or the list of volunteers.

Korean very often combines nouns this way, where English would use of. So instead of saying the list of volunteers, Korean simply says volunteer list.

-을 / -를 is the object marker in Korean. It marks the thing that the verb acts on.

Here:

• 명단을 = the list as the thing being checked

The verb is 확인해요 (check / confirm), so the list is the direct object.

Because 명단 ends in a consonant, it takes -을.
If a noun ends in a vowel, it takes -를 instead.

Yes, both are possible.

• 정확하게
• 정확히

Both can mean accurately or correctly.

In many everyday situations, they are very close in meaning.
정확하게 often feels a little more like in an accurate/careful way, while 정확히 can feel slightly more concise or adverb-like, but in this sentence the difference is very small.

So these are both natural:

• 먼저 자원봉사자 명단을 정확하게 확인해요.
• 먼저 자원봉사자 명단을 정확히 확인해요.

확인해요 means check, confirm, or verify.

It is stronger and more purposeful than just 보다 (to see / to look at).

So:

• 봐요 = look at it / see it
• 확인해요 = check it carefully to make sure it is correct

In this sentence, the speaker is not just glancing at the list. They are checking/confirming it.

It comes from the dictionary form 확인하다.

Breakdown:

• 확인 = confirmation / checking
• 하다 = to do

So 확인하다 literally means to do a confirmation/check.

Then it becomes 확인해요 in the present polite style:

• 확인하다 → 확인해요

This noun + 하다 pattern is extremely common in Korean.

-해요 is the polite, informal style, often called the 해요 style.

It is commonly used:

• in everyday conversation
• in polite instructions
• with people you do not speak casually to
• in teaching materials and general explanations

So 확인해요 is polite but not overly formal.

Compare:

• 확인해요 = polite everyday style
• 확인합니다 = more formal
• 확인해 = casual/plain intimate style
• 확인하세요 = please check / check it (polite command)

Yes, the subject is omitted, which is very common in Korean.

The sentence does not explicitly say:

• I check
• we check
• you check
• someone checks

Korean often leaves the subject out when it is understood from context.

Depending on the situation, this sentence could mean things like:

• First, check the volunteer list carefully.
• First, we carefully check the volunteer list.
• First, I carefully check the volunteer list.

The context tells you who the subject is.

먼저 means first or first of all, and putting it at the beginning is very natural because it sets the order of actions right away.

This is the most straightforward version:

• 먼저 자원봉사자 명단을 정확하게 확인해요.

But Korean word order is somewhat flexible, so you may also hear things like:

• 자원봉사자 명단을 먼저 정확하게 확인해요.
• 자원봉사자 명단을 정확하게 먼저 확인해요.

These are possible, but the original sentence is the cleanest and most natural for a learner.

They are similar, but not exactly identical.

• 명단 usually means a list of names, a roster
• 목록 is a more general list or catalog

Since this sentence is about volunteers, 명단 is a very good choice because it suggests a list of people’s names.

So 자원봉사자 명단 sounds more natural than 자원봉사자 목록 if you mean an actual roster of volunteers.

Yes. Even though 확인해요 is literally a present-tense polite form, Korean often uses this style in explanations, manuals, schedules, and guided instructions.

So depending on context, it can sound like:

• First, carefully check the volunteer list.
• First, we carefully check the volunteer list.

If you wanted a more direct polite command, you could say:

• 먼저 자원봉사자 명단을 정확하게 확인하세요.

That sounds more clearly like Please check the volunteer list carefully first.
