Questions & Answers about i gillo jikjinhamyeon eunhaengi naogo, da-eum sinho-eseo uhoejeonhamyeon dwae.

What does 이 길로 mean, and why is it -로 instead of -에서?

이 길로 means along this road / by this road / on this road.

The particle -로 often shows:

direction
route
means/method

So 길로 가다 suggests go by way of this road or follow this road.

If you used 길에서, it would sound more like at/on the road as a location where something happens, not the route you take. In directions, -로 is much more natural here.

What does 직진하면 mean?

직진 means going straight.

직진하다 = to go straight
직진하면 = if you go straight / when you go straight

This uses the conditional ending -면, which often means if or when depending on context.

So:

직진하다 → to go straight
직진하면 → if you go straight

Why is -하면 used twice in this sentence?
