"An orange and a plate"

Translation: 오렌지와 접시

[trixia_b]

When should we use "과" and "와" for "and"?

[wintertriangles]

This sentence is a bad example but 과/와 are used when the nouns are connected somehow. Peanut butter and jelly is delicious. 땅콩버터와 포도잼은 맛있어요. The student is talking with the teacher (The student and teacher are talking). 학생은 선생님과 이야기하고 있어요. Notice if the noun ends in a vowel you use 와, and if it ends in a consonant you use 과.

Also it's more common to see this in writing. People usually use -(이)랑 or -하고 while speaking.

더 정확하게 과 and 와 의 차이는 앞글자의 받침의 유무에 따라 달라집니다
선생님 has 니 +ㅁ -> 과
땅콩버터 has 터 -> 와
Ex)
연필 과 지우개
A pencil and an eraser
지우개 와 연필
An eraser and a pencil

Why is duo telling me, it's "오렌지랑 ..." instead of "오렌지와 ..."? Never heard that before.

[ivandelft]

Why is "오렌지과접시" considered wrong? Is only "와" correct here? If so, why?
