Often confused with just '같이' (together). The addition of '와/과' specifies the comparison or accompaniment more clearly, meaning 'together with [noun]' or 'like [noun]'.
While '같이' can mean 'together' or 'like', adding '와/과' makes the 'like' or 'together with' meaning explicit, linking it directly to the preceding noun. Without '와/과', '같이' can sometimes act as an adverb meaning 'together'.
엄마와 같이 밥을 먹었어요. (I ate rice *with mom*.)
Both '~같이' and '~처럼' can mean 'like' or 'as if'.
'~처럼' is generally used for comparisons, emphasizing similarity in manner or appearance. '~같이' can also mean 'like', but it can also indicate accompaniment ('together with'). While there's overlap, '~처럼' often implies a stronger sense of 'as if' or 'in the manner of'.
그녀는 천사처럼 예뻐요. (She is beautiful *like an angel*.)
Both '같이' and '함께' mean 'together'.
While often interchangeable for 'together', '함께' is generally considered a bit more formal or literary than '같이'. '같이' can also be used as a comparative particle ('like'), which '함께' cannot.
우리 함께 공부해요. (Let's study *together*.)
Very similar to '~와/과 같이' when referring to accompaniment.
Functionally, when meaning 'together with', these are often interchangeable. However, '함께' generally carries a slightly more formal nuance than '같이'. '~같이' has the added function of meaning 'like' or 'as if' when used as a comparative particle.
친구와 함께 영화를 봤어요. (I watched a movie *with my friend*.)
Can sometimes express similarity or conformity, which might be confused with 'like' from '~같이'.
'~대로' means 'as (it is)', 'according to', or 'in the way of'. It emphasizes following a standard or a certain manner, rather than just being 'like' something in appearance or action. For example, '내 생각대로' (according to my thoughts).
계획대로 진행했어요. (I proceeded *according to the plan*.)
