Question 1

How do you say with in Korean?

Accepted Answer

To express ‘with/together’ in Korean, one can use an article ‘랑 (Lang)’.

‘랑’ can be used alone with the noun, but more often it is accompanied by adverbs such as ‘함께 (Ham Kye)’ or ‘같이 (Ga Chi).

Article ‘도’ can also be used in a same way as ‘랑’, but it adds nuance of ‘~too/also’, while its meaning of ‘together’ is more subtle than that of ‘랑’.

While ‘랑’ is used mostly for colloquial expression, ‘와/과 (Wa/Gwa)’ can be used for formal expression.
