Usage

The particle N+한테 is used with specific verbs such as 전화하다, 묻다, 보내다, 부치다, 가르치다, 팔다, 말하다, 주다, 선물하다, 던지다, 쓰다, 가다 and 오다.

The particle 한테 can only be used if the person receiving the action has a status lower than or equal to ours.

When the target is not a good fit for 한테 (such as plants, things and places), the N+에 particle can be used instead.

N+에게 vs N+한테 vs N+께
