Korean Lessons ᚛ Level 2 - Korean for Beginners #1 (Lessons 31 to 60) ᚛ Lesson 31 - Particles of provenance and destination [에서] [까지]

Particles of provenance and destination [에서] [까지]

In this course: 에서 / 까지

In the previous chapters, with respect to spatial elements and places, we studied how to:

• describe a destination and a place of presence using the particle 에
• describe a place in which an action is taking place, using the particle 에서

In this chapter, we will be learning how to express the concept of a movement with an origin (provenance) and a destination; this, with the aim of formulating expressions like "from ... to ...".

에서 and 까지 together

The particle 에서, which is useful when indicating a place where an action is taking place, is also used to indicate a provenance, while the particle 까지 is used to indicate a destination. They can be used together to express the concept of a departure and arrival from one place to another.
