Usage

  • We add - after a word that ends in a vowel.
  • We add -이랑 after a word that ends with a consonant.

N+와/과 vs N+랑/이랑 vs N+하고

와/과
  • Preferred in writing, presentations and speeches.
랑/이랑
  • Preferred in everyday conversations.
하고
  • Preferred in everyday conversations.

All three grammar points are both used to list things and correspond to "together with" in English.

Note for when used for listing thing:

  • Although N+하고 and N+랑/이랑 can be added to the final noun in a list, N+와/과 cannot.
  • Although they can be used interchangeably to list things, they cannot be mixed in the same sentence.
