tonghayeo

When used with nouns, you’ll attach ‘-을/를 통하여’ to show the method or medium something is being done by. For example, if you say, “저는 이메일을 통하여 소식을 받아요,” you are saying, “I receive news through email.” This construction emphasizes the channel or instrument used for an action. It's quite common in both spoken and written Korean, adding a precise nuance to how an action is performed. Remember, ‘통하여’ is often interchangeable with ‘통해’ for a slightly more colloquial feel, but both convey the same core meaning of 'by means of'.

You've learned that 통하여 means 'through,' 'via,' or 'by means of.' Now, let's look at how it compares to other similar Korean words. This will help you choose the right word in different situations.

§ 통하여 vs. 통해

First, let's address the most common alternative: 통해. You'll hear this one a lot. 통해 is simply the shortened form of 통하여. They mean exactly the same thing. So, when do you use which?

Think of it like 'cannot' versus 'can't' in English. Both are correct, but 'can't' is used more often in casual speech.

인터넷을 통하여 정보를 얻었어요. (I got information via the internet.)

인터넷을 통해 정보를 얻었어요. (I got information via the internet.)

Both sentences are grammatically correct and mean the same. The second one sounds more natural in a casual conversation.

§ 통하여 vs. -으로/로 (by means of, by way of)

The particle -으로/로 can also express 'by means of' or 'using' something, similar to 통하여. However, there's a difference in nuance and usage.

-으로/로: Often used for instruments, tools, or methods. It indicates the means directly used to perform an action.

연필로 글씨를 썼어요. (I wrote with a pencil.)

버스로 학교에 가요. (I go to school by bus.)

통하여: Suggests a more indirect 'channel' or 'medium' through which something happens. It emphasizes the intermediary nature of the means.

친구를 통하여 소식을 들었어요. (I heard the news through a friend.)

While you could technically say '친구로 소식을 들었어요,' it sounds a bit less natural than using 통하여 when referring to a person as a channel for information.

§ 통하여 vs. 거쳐 (via, passing through)

거쳐 comes from the verb 거치다 (to pass through, to go through). It shares some overlap with 통하여, especially when talking about physical or procedural passage.

거쳐: Often implies a sequential process, a physical route, or a series of steps that must be completed. It emphasizes the act of 'passing through' or 'going through' a stage or place.

서울을 거쳐 부산으로 갔어요. (I went to Busan via Seoul / passing through Seoul.)

여러 단계를 거쳐 완성되었어요. (It was completed through several stages.)

통하여: Can also refer to a process, but it often emphasizes the 'medium' or 'channel' rather than the direct action of passing through. It's more about 'by means of' or 'using' something as a channel.

연구를 통하여 새로운 사실을 발견했어요. (I discovered new facts through research.)

While both might be used in some contexts, 거쳐 implies a more active 'passage' or 'completion of stages,' whereas 통하여 highlights the 'method' or 'channel' used.

§ Summary of Usage

통하여: Formal, emphasizes the channel or medium for communication, information, or abstract processes.
통해: Informal, everyday version of 통하여.
-으로/로: For direct tools, methods, or transportation.
거쳐: For physical passage, sequential steps, or formal procedures.

Don't worry too much about perfect distinction right away. As you read and listen more, you'll naturally develop a feel for when to use each word. The most important takeaway is that 통하여 (and 통해) is your go-to for meaning 'through' or 'by means of' when something serves as a conduit or channel.

अक्सर इससे भ्रम होता है

통하여 vs ~을/를 통하다 (~eul/reul tonghada)

This is the verbal form 'to pass through, to communicate through'. '통하여' is derived from this verb.

통하여 vs 거쳐 (geochyeo)

Means 'via' or 'through (a place/process)'. Often implies a physical passing or a step in a process, similar to '통하여' but sometimes with a stronger sense of movement or a sequence of actions.

통하여 vs 이용하여 (iyonghayeo)

Means 'by using' or 'utilizing'. While '통하여' can imply using something as a means, '이용하여' specifically emphasizes the act of utilizing a tool, resource, or person for a purpose.

आसानी से भ्रमित होने वाले

통하여 vs 말미암아 (malmiama)

Often confused with '통하여' because both can indicate a cause or reason. However, '말미암아' specifically points to a direct cause or origin, often with a slightly more formal or literary nuance.

'통하여' focuses on the *means* or *channel*, while '말미암아' emphasizes the *direct cause* or *source* of something.

그의 노력에 말미암아 성공할 수 있었다. (He was able to succeed *due to his efforts*.)

통하여 vs ~을/를 통해 (~eul/reul tonghae)

This is almost identical in meaning and usage to '통하여'. The confusion often arises in deciding when to use the adverbial form '통하여' versus the particle construction '~을/를 통해'.

'통하여' is an adverb, while '~을/를 통해' uses the noun '통해' (derived from the verb '통하다') with an object particle. Functionally, they are very similar, but '통하여' can sometimes feel a little more formal or literary.

친구를 통하여 그 소식을 들었다. (I heard that news *through a friend*.)

통하여 vs 덕분에 (deokbune)

Both can express that something happened because of something else. However, '덕분에' carries a strong connotation of gratitude or a positive outcome, often implying a favorable reason.

'통하여' is neutral regarding the outcome, simply stating the means. '덕분에' implies a positive cause, meaning 'thanks to' or 'owing to' something good.

선생님 덕분에 한국어를 잘 배우고 있어요. (I'm learning Korean well *thanks to the teacher*.)

통하여 vs 인하여 (inyeohayeo)

Similar to '말미암아', '인하여' also expresses a cause or reason, leading to confusion with '통하여' which can sometimes imply a contributing factor.

'통하여' indicates the channel or method, while '인하여' indicates the direct cause or reason, often for a more serious or significant event. It's often used in formal or written contexts.

사고로 인하여 도로가 통제되었다. (The road was closed *due to the accident*.)

통하여 vs ~으로서 (~eoroseo)

While not directly synonymous, learners might confuse it because both can specify a role or a means in certain contexts. For example, 'as a tool' or 'by means of a person's role'.

'통하여' focuses on the medium or channel. '~으로서' specifies the *qualification*, *status*, or *role* of someone or something, meaning 'as' or 'in the capacity of'.

선생님으로서 학생들을 가르칩니다. (I teach students *as a teacher*.)
