Questions & Answers about gonghangeseo hotelkkaji taeksiro gayo.
Why is 공항에서 used instead of just 공항?
The particle 에서 marks the starting point of an action in space. Here, it tells us “from the airport.” Without 에서, it would just be a noun without indicating origin.
What does 호텔까지 mean and why use 까지?
The particle 까지 means “up to” or “until.” It marks the destination or endpoint. So 호텔까지 means “to the hotel.” Combining 공항에서 and 호텔까지 literally gives “from the airport to the hotel.”
Why is 택시로 used instead of 택시 or 택시에?
The particle 로 indicates means or method (“by taxi”).
- 택시 alone is just the noun.
- 택시에 would use the locative/dative 에, which is not correct for “by means of.”
- 택시로 specifically means “using a taxi.”
Could I say 택시를 타고 가요 instead of 택시로 가요?
Yes. 택시를 타고 가요 literally means “ride a taxi and go,” and it’s a natural alternative.
- 택시로 가요 is shorter and equally common.
