Updated: Apr 23, 2024


안녕하세요! I am Vaibhavi from India. In today' post let's talk about the various uses of ~(으)로 particle.


FORMATION RULES:

~로 is added to words(nouns) ending in a vowel, whereas

~(으)로 is added to words(nouns) ending in a consonant.


However, when the last consonant (받짐) is ㄹ, 로 is added instead of ~(으)로.



A) To indicate a tool or means or method of doing something. It can be equivalent to by, by means of,with etc.


Examples:

1) Jisoo ate ice cream with a spoon. = 지수는 아이스크림을 숟가락으로 떠먹었다.

2) I wiped the water off my hands with a handkerchief.= 나는 손에 묻은 물기를 손수건으로 닦았다.

3) I study with a Korean book. = 저는 한국어책으로 공부해요.

4) I will go to Je-ju by boat. = 배로 제주에 갈 거야.


B) ~(으)로 is used to indicate the direction that something is happening or the direction of motion. This usually has the same meaning as -에.


Examples:

1) We went to Jeju Island for our honeymoon. = 우리는 신혼여행을 제주도로 갔다 왔다.

2) I ran towards my home . = 나는 집으로 달려갔다.

3)The thief was headed to the back door. = 도둑은 뒷문으로 향합니다.

C) ~(으)로 can be used to indicate the language in something is spoken.


Examples:

1) I will say that in French. = 나는 그것을 프랑스어로 말할 것이다.

2) The Korean President gave the speech in English. = 한국 대통령은 영어로 연설을 했습니다.

3) Please say that in Chinese. = 중국어로 해주세요.



D) ~(으)로 is also used to indicate what you ate for a specific meal.


Examples:

1) I usually only eat fruit for lunch. = 저는 보통 저시식사로 과일만 먹었어요.

While I expect some folks are going to like the big size, one of the characteristics that keeps bringing me back link to my own Q Timex (the HODINKEE edition) is its compact form factor link paired with link a sharp-looking bracelet. My watch rides low and comfortable in a way that's not dissimilar to classic 1970s watches with angular cases and integrated bracelets, but of course, the value proposition is completely different.

First introduced in link 2019 as a base for the surprisingly lovely 5212A Weekly Calendar, Patek also swapped the 26-330 into the Nautilus 5711 for the last couple years of its run. Its link most important technical upgrade as compared to the 324 is the addition of a new link second wheel that's made using LIGA and has long, slotted teeth on each gear. This is meant to smooth the ticking of the seconds hand and prevent the backlash seen on other seconds hands.
