Korean grammar - From and to a location - 부터 and 까지 |
|||
|
|||
Two more very common prepositions are 부터 and 까지. We previously saw the particles 에 and 에서 used to mark movement 'to' and 'from' a location. • 부터 can be used interchangeably with 에서 to mean 'from'. • 까지 can be used interchangeably with 에 to mean 'to'. Or more precisely 'till' or 'up to'. So it can have the sense of 'all the way to' or 'right up to'. All these prepositional particles can be attached to 어디 (where), 여기 (here), 거기 (there) and 저기 (over there). |
