Questions & Answers about nalssie ttara oseul ibeoyo.

What does -에 따라 mean and how is it used?

It’s a fixed pattern meaning depending on / according to a noun. Structure: N + 에 따라 + (result/action). Commonly, you’ll also see N + 에 따라 다르다 (It varies depending on N).

• Example: 사람마다 취향에 따라 선택이 달라요. (The choice varies depending on taste.)
• It only takes nouns before it. To use verbs/clauses, you convert them into noun phrases (e.g., 하는지에 따라, 여부에 따라).

Can I say -에 따르면 here?

No. -에 따르면 means according to (a source/report/authority), not “depending on.”

• Use -에 따르면 for citations: 뉴스에 따르면… (According to the news…)
• Use -에 따라 for conditions/criteria: 날씨에 따라… (Depending on the weather…)

Is -에 따라서 different from -에 따라?

They’re both correct here and mean the same thing; -에 따라서 can feel a touch more explicit or formal. Be aware that 따라서 by itself (without -에) often means therefore/so, which is a different use.

Why does 날씨 take 에? Could I use another particle like 에서?
