using, with
(으)로 is also used when expressing means of transport, other means, tools, and materials used to make something. This meaning corresponds to 'by' or 'with/using' and 'from' in English.
When a means of transport is represented by a verb instead of a noun, -아/어서 is added to the verb, such as in 걸어서, 뛰어서, 달려서, 운전해서 and 수영해서.
Expresses the means or tools that enable us to perform an action.
When the word ends in a vowel or ㄹ, we add 로 after it.
When the word ends with a consonant, add 으로 after the word.
The (으)로 particle highlights direction, allowing for the use of terms that indicate directions such as "left, right". This contrasts with the 에 particle, which focuses on the destination element within the sentence. Since "left, right" indicate direction rather than specific destinations, they cannot be used with the 에 particle.
