(으)로 is a direction particle in this sentence. So it means the man runs towards the sea.
Yes! But what I've learnt is that in Korean everyday language, they use (으)로 to mean 에. So the translation 'naturally' is "to go".
까지 means "until". For a location, it marks it as the destination (or the place where the action in question stops).
로/으로 means "towards" and "in the direction of", but it can also mean "through", "across", "using".
It's of note that the "tips" section only shows up on the website. You can't see it in the app.
In these types of sentences, if I want to state someone's name instead of "the man" or whatever, do I just change "남자가" to their name or...?

Keeping the subject particle (or changing to a different subject particle depending on the end of the name), right?
What "로/으로" means changes with context. "영어으로" means "in English". "차으로" means "by car". It can mean in a certain direction ("곧바로", "왼쪽으로", and "오른쪽으로" mean going straight, left, and right).
And a ton more that I don't recall.
I can't really picture a situation where its meaning would be like that.
"I speak according to English" or "in keeping with English rules;" "저는 영으로 말합니다." "I run according to the sea; according to the direction of the sea;" "저는 바다로 달립니다"
"영어로 말합니다." doesn't mean that you speak according to the rules.
And "in the direction of" means towards it. I'm guessing you mean "according to" as implying that the person is running bedside on the beach following the ocean shore? If so, that's not what "바다로 달립니다" usually implies.
According to someone on this forum (https://www.italki.com/question/317170?hl=ko):
달리다 and 뛰다 are nearly the same when they mean "run".
They have different usage when applied more widely. 달리는 기차(O), 뛰는 기차(X) -> 달리다 can be applied to vehicles, 뛰다 can't. 뛰는 물가(O), 달리는 물가(X) -> 뛰다 means "jump" as well, 달리다 does not.
Actually 뛰다 means jump, but its is translated to "run" that is the meaning of 달리다
I have the same problem. I guess we'll understand better later since the course is still in beta.
it's understood from context. that's why duolingo will accept either a or the in sentences like these
로 is talking about "to" or in context "I am going to the beach". 에서 is referring to more about where you are like "바다에서 수영했어요" (although I believe the more proper form is "바다에" in that sentence). 까지 is talking about "up to" such as in "나는 여기 까지" which can mean a multitude of things that which you are implying.
is it mandatory for it to be <sub>the</sub> man, as opposed to <sub>a</sub> man?

since it uses a 가, "man" is not stressed. I believe "A man runs to the sea" should be accepted. Reported.
I am confused by the use of 로 instead of 에. I thought this would be A man runs with the sea/ using the sea/ or by the sea. Does anyone know where can I learn about this grammar rule?
로 both means with/using/by AND the same as 에/에서, it depends on the context of the sentence :)) i think you can find a more precise lesson on talk to me in korean
Can't 바다 translate to 'beach' as well? I typed 'beach' as a translation and it said it was wrong.
Sometime i get confuse about a ending particles and singular or plural nouns.
Strictly speaking, since the sentence used 로 instead of 까기 shouldn't it be "The man runs toward the sea" ?
Beach is similar. It's "바닷가", these days people more often say "해변".
It can also be "호숫가" if you're taling about a beach on a lake instead of the ocean.
달리다 (달립니다) only means run/dash.
뛰다 (뜁니다) means jump as well as run/dash.
There's also a difference that 달리다 can be used with things like vehicles, but 뛰다 can't
Can we make sea/ocean interchangeable? Are there two different words for them?
로/으로 deals with a location. 러 deals with an action; modifies a verb.
(으)로 is romanized as eulo and (으)러 is euleo - its a difference in pronunciation, I'm not sure about meaning...
I got it wrong because I said "The man runs to the ocean," but I guess it has to be "sea" instead.
Is there a reason this can't be translated to "The man is running to the sea"?
In reality, yes.
Korean has a grammar form for continuous (base-verb+고 있다). In this case, 달리고 있어요 or 있습니다.
But, Koreans use regular present tense as continuous all the time. For instance, "당신은 뭐 해요?" means "What are you doing?" and not "What do you do?"
I think you can change "the man" to a person's name... Example: 남준씨 바다로 달립니다 Hopefully it's correct...
I believe 로 means to the/towards the, so it would mean: to the/towards the sea.
I believe most people refer to it that way, as my grandparents always called the beach 바닷가 which is similar to 바다.
까지 = "until" (으)로 = "toward"
With a location: 까지 tells you the destination; the location where the action stops. (으)로 tells you the direction in which the action is happening.

Would 남자가 바다까지 달립니다 be a wrong answer? I always knew that (으)로 is equivalent to the instrumental case, which shows the instrument an action has been completed with.
That means something different.
바다로 = towards (in the direction of) the sea/ocean
바다까지 = to/until the sea/ocean
The second one means that the sea /ocean is the destination; where the activity stops.
까지 means "until". So, with a location it means it's the destination.
~로/으로 means "towards". It can also mean "through", "using", or "by way of".
(으)로 means "toward" as well as "through"/"using". When used with a location, it means in the direction of it.
까지 means "until" and "by". With a location, it implies that it's the destination; the action in the sentence stops when they reach the location.
Woah i didnt know we could comment like this thanks for the help and tips in pronouniation and meaning

Sometimes Duolongo causes confusion when there is no need. While Google Translate is certainly not the definite expert of meanings of words, it does clarify the general meaning. 바다로 and 바다으로 are both defines as by the sea not "to" or "toward". Therefore, the man runs by the sea is the general meaning. 바다 throughout this tree is variously defined as sea and ocean and therefore either should be accepted. Teach us the basic language before adding these "sometimes" or "obscure" meanings.
Yes. 까지 primarily means "until" but also means "to". It's used for ending time and location (destination).
But ~(으)로 also means "to" as in direction; towards.
namja-ga = man + subject-marker bada-lo = sea + to dallibnida = dallada = -bni- = to run (present tense)
In the context here, 로/으로 means towards (in the direction of). "남자가 바다로 달립니다." means "The man runs towards the sea/ocean."
Although, in other contexts it means "using" or "by way of".
Ex: "I ride to work by bus." -> 저는 버스로 일에 타요.
"We talk together in Korean." -> 우리가 같이 한국어로 대화해요.
So 'The man SPRINTS to the sea' isn't accepted? HOW? (I'm native and checking through the questions if they are right or wrong)
Sprint means to run as fast as you possibly can over a short distance. That's not the same as 달리다.
Sprint is more like 질주하다 than 달리다.
