이 겨울이 새로운 탄생의
첫 발임을 굳게 믿는다.
이(this) 겨울이(winter) 새로운(new) 탄생의(of a birth)
첫(first) 발(foot, step)임(the fact it is; it being)을 굳게(firmly) 믿는다(believe).
So it means I firmly believe that this winter is the first step for a brand new birth.
첫 발임을 might be a little tricky to understand. You may think of it as two phrases.
- 이 겨울이 새로운 탄생의 첫 발이다 - This winter is the first step for a new birth.
- (나는 이것을) 굳게 믿는다 - I firmly believe (this fact).
=> (나는) 이 겨울이 새로운 탄생의 첫 발임을 굳게 믿는다.
* 첫 발이다 -> 첫 발임(을): is the first step -> that it is the first step / being the first step (turns a full clause into a noun phrase).
Here's my two cents
1st Subject: 나는 (I - which is omitted in this case)
2nd Subject: 이 (this) 겨울 (winter)
1st Verb: 믿는다 (believe)
2st Verb: 이 (is)
Object: 새로운(new) 탄생 (birth) 의 (of) 첫 (first) 발(step,foot)임(nominalization) 을 (an object marker)
Adverb for 1st Verb: 굳게 (firmly)
이 (this) 겨울 (winter)이 (is)새로운(new) 탄생 (birth) 의 (of)
첫 (first) 발(step,foot)임(nominalization) 을 (an object marker) 굳게 (firmly) 믿는다 (believe).Translation: I firmly believe that this winter is the first step of a new birth.
