Questions & Answers about gonghangeseo hotelkkaji taeksiro sip bun jeongdo geollyeoyo.

What do the particles -에서 and -까지 mean here? Could I use -부터 instead of -에서?

• -에서 marks the starting point “from” (for places or where an action happens).
• -까지 marks the end point “to, up to.”
• You can say either 공항에서 or 공항부터. With places, both are acceptable; -에서 is the most typical in travel/distance sentences, while -부터 can feel a bit more like “starting from” (slightly emphatic).
• Examples:
  • 공항에서/공항부터 호텔까지 택시로 십 분 정도 걸려요. (Both OK)
  • For time ranges, -부터 is more common: 세 시부터 다섯 시까지.

Why is it 택시로, not 택시으로? When do I use -로 versus -으로?

Use -로 after a noun ending in a vowel or the consonant ㄹ; use -으로 after other consonants.

• 택시 ends in a vowel -> 택시로.
• More examples: 버스 → 버스로, 기차 → 기차로, 지하철(…ㄹ) → 지하철로. The particle means “by/with/using” (means or method).

What’s the difference between 택시로 and 택시(를) 타고?

Both mean “by taxi.”

• 택시로 = by means of taxi (neutral, compact).
• 택시(를) 타고 = “riding a taxi” (slightly more vivid/colloquial).
  Either works: 공항에서 호텔까지 택시로/택시(를) 타고 십 분 정도 걸려요.
