~이랑/랑
~이랑/랑 is an informal particle that means "and" or "with." You use it to connect nouns. If the noun ends in a consonant (batchim), you use ~이랑. If the noun ends in a vowel, you use ~랑.
For example, if you want to say "bread and milk," you would say "빵이랑 우유." "빵" ends in a consonant, so you add "~이랑."
If you want to say "coffee and juice," you would say "커피랑 주스." "커피" ends in a vowel, so you add "~랑."
It's important to remember that this particle is used in casual settings with friends and family. For more formal situations, you would use a different particle.
~이랑/랑 is an informal particle used to connect two nouns, meaning "and" or "with." You attach ~이랑 to nouns ending in a consonant (like 책 (chaek) - book) and ~랑 to nouns ending in a vowel (like 친구 (chingu) - friend).
For example, if you want to say "book and pencil," you would say 책이랑 연필 (chaeg-irang yeonpil). If you want to say "with a friend," you would say 친구랑 (chin-gu-rang).
It's very common in spoken Korean and casual writing. Remember, it's generally not used in formal settings or very polite speech.
~이랑/랑 is an informal particle used to connect two or more nouns, meaning "and" or "with." You can think of it as a casual alternative to ~과/와. The choice between ~이랑 and ~랑 depends on whether the preceding noun ends in a consonant or a vowel. If the noun ends in a consonant, you use ~이랑. For example, '빵이랑 우유' (bread and milk). If the noun ends in a vowel, you use ~랑. For instance, '나랑 너' (you and I). It's very commonly used in everyday spoken Korean but generally avoided in formal writing.
~이랑/랑 is an informal particle meaning "and" or "with." It's used to connect nouns. If the preceding noun ends in a consonant, use ~이랑. If it ends in a vowel, use ~랑. For example, '친구랑 영화 봤어요' means 'I watched a movie with a friend.' Or '사과랑 바나나 주세요' means 'Please give me an apple and a banana.'
§ What ~이랑/랑 means
The Korean particle ~이랑/랑 is used to connect nouns, meaning 'and' or 'with'. It's an informal way to link things or people together. Think of it like saying "apple and banana" or "I went with my friend."
§ When to use ~이랑 vs. ~랑
The choice between ~이랑 and ~랑 depends on the last letter of the noun it attaches to. This is a common pattern in Korean grammar to make pronunciation smoother.
- Rule 1: Use ~이랑
- If the noun ends with a final consonant (받침 - batchim), you add ~이랑.
Let's look at an example:
빵이랑 우유 주세요. (Please give me bread and milk.)
Here, 빵 (ppang - bread) ends with a final consonant (ㅇ), so we use ~이랑.
- Rule 2: Use ~랑
- If the noun ends with a vowel (no final consonant), you add ~랑.
Here’s an example:
친구랑 영화 봤어요. (I watched a movie with my friend.)
친구 (chin-gu - friend) ends with a vowel (ㅜ), so we use ~랑.
§ How to use it in a sentence
~이랑/랑 is a versatile particle. You can use it in several ways:
To list items (meaning 'and'):
사과랑 오렌지 주세요. (Please give me an apple and an orange.)
책이랑 펜이 필요해요. (I need a book and a pen.)
To say 'with' someone or something:
엄마랑 쇼핑했어요. (I went shopping with my mom.)
친구랑 저녁 먹을 거예요. (I'm going to eat dinner with my friend.)
Connecting multiple nouns:
When connecting more than two nouns, ~이랑/랑 usually goes after each noun in the list, except the last one, which then takes the verb or other particles.
연필이랑 지우개랑 공책을 샀어요. (I bought a pencil, an eraser, and a notebook.)
§ Comparing ~이랑/랑 with other 'and' particles
Korean has a few ways to say 'and'. While ~이랑/랑 is informal, you might also encounter ~과/와 or ~하고.
~과/와: This particle also means 'and' or 'with' but is more formal and often used in writing or formal speech. Similar to ~이랑/랑, it also depends on batchim: ~과 for batchim, ~와 for no batchim.
책과 펜. (Book and pen - formal)
~하고: This is another common way to say 'and' or 'with' and is also informal, much like ~이랑/랑. The great thing about ~하고 is that it doesn't change based on batchim, making it slightly simpler to use.
엄마하고 친구. (Mom and friend - informal)
§ What is ~이랑/랑?
The particle ~이랑/랑 is a super useful Korean particle that means 'and' or 'with.' It's used to connect nouns. Think of it as a casual way to say that two things or people are together or involved in the same action. If the noun ends with a vowel, you use ~랑. If it ends with a consonant, you use ~이랑. Easy!
§ Examples of ~이랑/랑 in Daily Life
You'll hear ~이랑/랑 all the time in Korean conversations. It's really common when people talk about what they're doing with others, or what items they have together. Let's look at some practical examples.
§ At Work or School
In a work or school setting, you might use ~이랑/랑 to talk about group projects, meetings, or who you're working with on something.
You're talking about a group assignment:
저는 수미랑 발표 준비해요. (I'm preparing for the presentation with Sumi.)
Discussing who attended a meeting:
팀장님이랑 저랑 회의에 참석했어요. (The team leader and I attended the meeting.)
§ In Everyday Conversation
This particle is incredibly common when you're just chatting with friends or family. It's a natural part of casual Korean.
Talking about what you ate:
저는 밥이랑 김치 먹었어요. (I ate rice and kimchi.)
Making plans with a friend:
우리 주말에 영화 보랑 쇼핑할까요? (Shall we watch a movie and go shopping this weekend?)
Describing items:
이 가방이랑 저 모자랑 잘 어울려요. (This bag and that hat go well together.)
§ In the News or Media
While news reports often lean towards more formal language, you might still encounter ~이랑/랑 in more casual segments, interviews, or features where the tone is less formal.
- Remember these key points:
- ~이랑 is used after nouns ending in a consonant.
- ~랑 is used after nouns ending in a vowel.
- It means 'and' or 'with.'
- It's for informal situations.
You've learned that ~이랑/랑 means "and" or "with" in Korean. It's super common in spoken Korean, but let's dive a bit deeper into when to use it and how it compares to other similar particles.
§ When to use ~이랑/랑
The key thing to remember is that ~이랑/랑 is used for connecting nouns. It acts like a glue between two nouns, indicating that they are together or related in some way. Think of it as a casual way to say "A and B" or "with A."
- For listing items: When you want to list two nouns together.
사과랑 바나나 주세요. (Please give me an apple and a banana.)
- For indicating accompaniment: When someone is doing something with someone else.
친구랑 영화 봤어요. (I watched a movie with my friend.)
§ ~이랑/랑 vs. 하고
You might also have come across 하고 (hago), which also means "and" or "with." While they often seem interchangeable, there's a subtle difference.
- ~이랑/랑
- More common in casual, spoken Korean. It gives a slightly softer, more friendly feel.
엄마랑 아빠. (Mom and Dad.)
- 하고
- Can be used in both spoken and written Korean, and is generally considered more neutral or slightly more formal than ~이랑/랑. It can also connect verbs, unlike ~이랑/랑.
책하고 연필 주세요. (Please give me a book and a pencil.)
When you're just connecting two nouns, using either ~이랑/랑 or 하고 is usually fine, especially in everyday conversations. However, if you're writing something more formal or connecting verbs, stick with 하고.
§ ~이랑/랑 vs. 과/와
The particles 과 (gwa) and 와 (wa) also mean "and" or "with," but they are much more formal. You'll usually see them in written Korean, news reports, or very formal speeches. They are rarely used in casual conversation.
- 과/와
- Formal and primarily used in written contexts. Use 과 after a noun ending in a consonant, and 와 after a noun ending in a vowel.
한국과 미국. (Korea and America.)
For your daily conversations and A2 level Korean, focusing on ~이랑/랑 and 하고 will serve you well. You'll naturally pick up on the nuances as you hear more Korean spoken around you. The main takeaway is that ~이랑/랑 is your go-to for informal "and" and "with" when connecting nouns.
How Formal Is It?
"선생님과 학생이 이야기합니다. (The teacher and student are talking.)"
"엄마하고 아빠가 오셨어요. (Mom and Dad came.)"
"친구랑 밥 먹었어요. (I ate with a friend.)"
"엄마랑 아기랑 놀아요. (Mom and baby are playing.)"

neutralFácil de confundir
~와/과 also means 'and' or 'with,' similar to ~이랑/랑. The confusion lies in when to use each particle.
~와/과 is generally considered more formal than ~이랑/랑. While ~이랑/랑 is common in everyday spoken Korean, ~와/과 is often preferred in writing, formal speeches, or when you want to sound more polite and refined.
엄마와 아빠가 오셨어요. (Mom and Dad came.) - A more formal way to say it.
~하고 is another particle that means 'and' or 'with,' adding to the confusion of which one to choose.
~하고 is versatile and can be used in both formal and informal contexts. It's a safe choice if you're unsure whether to use ~이랑/랑 or ~와/과, as it's widely accepted in most situations. However, ~이랑/랑 has a slightly more casual and friendly nuance.
친구하고 영화 봤어요. (I watched a movie with a friend.)
Sometimes, ~에 can imply 'with' in certain contexts, particularly when talking about combining things, which can be mistaken for the 'and' or 'with' meaning of ~이랑/랑.
~에 primarily indicates a location, time, or direction. While it can sometimes be used to mean 'with' in phrases like 'add something to something,' its core function is different from ~이랑/랑's role in connecting nouns as 'and' or 'with.'
빵에 버터를 발랐어요. (I spread butter on the bread.)
~도 means 'also' or 'too.' It can be confusing because if you list two nouns with ~도, it might sound like you're connecting them, similar to 'and.'
~도 emphasizes that something else is included or happening in addition to what was previously mentioned. It doesn't connect nouns in the same way ~이랑/랑 does to form a single combined unit. Instead, it adds individual items to a list or a statement.
저도 갈 거예요. (I will go too.)
그리고 means 'and' or 'and then,' which directly translates to one of the meanings of ~이랑/랑. This can lead to confusion about when to use which.
그리고 is a conjunction that connects sentences or clauses, not individual nouns within a sentence. ~이랑/랑 is a particle that connects nouns. You use 그리고 to link complete thoughts or actions, while ~이랑/랑 links items within a list or indicates accompaniment.
밥을 먹었어요. 그리고 영화를 봤어요. (I ate. And then I watched a movie.)

Cómo usarlo
~이랑/랑 is an informal particle meaning 'and' or 'with'. It attaches directly to nouns. You use 랑 when the noun ends in a vowel, and 이랑 when the noun ends in a consonant. It's common in spoken Korean and casual writing. For 'and' it means 'noun A and noun B', where A and B are of equal importance. For 'with' it means 'together with noun'.
- Using ~이랑/랑 with verbs or adjectives. It only attaches to nouns.
- Confusing it with formal 'and' particles like ~과/와. While similar in meaning, ~과/와 is more formal and often used in writing or more formal speech.
- Incorrectly applying 이랑 or 랑. Remember: vowel ending + 랑, consonant ending + 이랑. For example, '사과랑' (apple and), not '사과이랑'. '책이랑' (book and), not '책랑'.

Preguntas frecuentes
10 preguntasBoth ~이랑/랑 and 하고 mean "and" or "with" when connecting nouns. The main difference is formality. ~이랑/랑 is informal, commonly used in spoken Korean. 하고 is slightly more formal, but still widely used in both speaking and writing. For example:
친구랑 영화 봤어. (I watched a movie with a friend. - Informal)
친구하고 영화 봤어. (I watched a movie with a friend. - Slightly more formal)
It depends on the ending sound of the preceding noun. If the noun ends with a final consonant (batchim), you use ~이랑. If the noun ends with a vowel, you use ~랑.
Examples:
책 (chaek, book - ends with consonant) + 이랑 = 책이랑 (book and/with)
사과 (sagwa, apple - ends with vowel) + 랑 = 사과랑 (apple and/with)
No, ~이랑/랑 is strictly for connecting nouns. You cannot use it with verbs or adjectives. For connecting verbs or adjectives, you would use different grammatical structures like ~고 (and, and then) or ~아/어서 (because, so).
Incorrect: 먹이랑 자 (eat and sleep) - This is wrong.
Correct: 먹고 자 (eat and then sleep)
You can use ~이랑/랑 for each noun in the list, or you can use it only between the last two items in the list, with commas separating the others. It's similar to how we use "and" in English lists.
Examples:
사과랑 바나나랑 오렌지 주세요. (Please give me an apple, a banana, and an orange.)
사과, 바나나랑 오렌지 주세요. (Please give me an apple, a banana, and an orange.)
~이랑/랑 is primarily used in spoken Korean. While you might see it in casual texts or online chats, in more formal writing like emails or reports, it's generally better to use 하고 or 과/와 (which is even more formal for "and"/"with").
Yes, absolutely! This is one of its most common uses. When you want to say you did something with a person, you attach ~이랑/랑 to the person's name or title.
Examples:
엄마랑 시장에 갔어. (I went to the market with Mom.)
친구랑 밥 먹었어. (I ate with a friend.)
As long as you're connecting nouns in an informal context, it's generally fine. The main pitfall is trying to use it with verbs or adjectives, which is incorrect. Also, in very formal or academic writing, it would be inappropriate. Stick to informal spoken Korean and casual written communication for ~이랑/랑.
과/와 is the most formal way to say "and" or "with" for nouns in Korean. It follows the same rule as ~이랑/랑 for consonant/vowel endings (과 after consonant, 와 after vowel). While ~이랑/랑 is informal and 하고 is semi-formal, 과/와 is used in formal writing, speeches, and official documents.
Example:
한국과 미국 (Korea and America - Formal)
Yes, you can! You would attach ~이랑/랑 to the interrogative pronoun 누구 (nugu, who) or 뭐 (mwo, what).
Examples:
누구랑 같이 왔어요? (Who did you come with?)
이거 뭐랑 먹어요? (What do you eat this with?)
No, its primary function is to connect nouns, indicating either a conjunction ("and") or accompaniment ("with"). It doesn't have other distinct meanings or grammatical functions. It's a straightforward particle for these two uses in informal contexts.

This sentence means 'I love mom and dad.' The particle '랑' connects '엄마' (mom) and '아빠' (dad).
This sentence means 'I play with my friend.' The particle '랑' connects '친구' (friend) with the action of playing.
This sentence means 'Tonight, I eat rice and soup.' The particle '이랑' connects '밥' (rice) and '국' (soup).
저는 친구___ 밥을 먹었어요. (I ate rice with a friend.)

책___ 연필이 있어요. (There is a book and a pencil.)
Since '책' ends with a consonant, we use '이랑'.
저는 엄마___ 아빠가 좋아요. (I like mom and dad.)
'엄마' ends with a vowel, but when connecting two nouns, both '이랑' and '랑' can be used depending on the preceding noun. Here, '엄마' ends with a vowel, so '랑' is generally used. However, '아빠' is the next noun, so '엄마랑 아빠' is more natural. Since '이랑' is an option, it also works to connect with the following word, but '랑' is more direct for '엄마'. Let's choose the most direct connection to the preceding noun. For '엄마', which ends in a vowel, '랑' is typically used. However, in this case, the question asks for a particle to connect '엄마' and '아빠'. Both are acceptable but '이랑' is also often used for clarity when connecting. Let's adjust this for clearer distinction between '이랑' and '랑'. Let's rephrase this question.
저는 우유___ 빵을 먹었어요. (I ate milk and bread.)
Since '우유' ends with a vowel, we use '랑'.
가방___ 지갑이 없어요. (There is no bag and no wallet.)
Since '가방' ends with a consonant, we use '이랑'.
저는 동생___ 같이 학교에 가요. (I go to school with my younger sibling.)
Since '동생' ends with a consonant, we use '이랑'.
I watched a movie with a friend.
Mom and Dad are going to the market.

Which sentence correctly uses '~이랑/랑' to list two items you bought at the store?
