"School and bread"

Translation: 학교와 빵

[RhiaBlu]

Sorry, I'm confused... Why does this use 와? Because of the final vowel? If that's the case, couldn't 하고 work as well since it has been used with words that end in a vowel? Or do certain words take certain particles?

[jameslingofan]

As far as I can tell (not very far), when a word ends in a vowel, you are free to use either 와 or 하고. The tips/notes for the Basics-1 unit suggest that 와 is common in writing, and 하고 is common in speaking.

[RQZ.Sash]

Yes 하고 should be accepted as well.

[Vv_da_kpop_queen]

you have taken in so much more than me haha

[Sapire0626]

'와' and '하고' is same.
In English, it is 'and'

[JerryAn6]

하고 should be correct as well

[Quinnlimm]

Isnt that wrong because it doesnt contain a character for "and"?

[overwatchplayer9]

yes

[mesvensson]

I believe Jerry is saying that "하고" should be an acceptable way of saying "and" in this sentence, not that that's how he wants to say school. I.e. "학교하고 빵."

[Natalee470820]

Duolingo needs to teach korean grammar either before or while we learn these sentences smh. Otherwise it's really confusing.

學校와 빵

[tealvneu]

Wait to sum things up: 와 and 하고 are for words that end in a vowel, but 와 is used commonly in writing and 하고 is commonly in speaking? And 과 is for words that end in a consonant?

[mesvensson]

The way I've understood it is that 하고 is the more common form in speech regardless of final sound. And that 와/과 are more common in writing.

[Astrid470410]

So you can choose if you want "and" to a part of the word or not?

[SerojaHaud]

When do you use -랑 and -이랑. Like what the difference between them?

[MXMB11]

I am sorry.. But can someone explain why is 하고 wrong in this context?

[Srijeeta10]

What is the difference between 과 and 와 ?

[learningforgguk]

i think you use 와 when the word ends with vowel and 와 if consonant

[EveWan1]

Do you use 와 for singular and 과 for plural or when do you know when to use them

[Amalia567658]

You use 와 when the word ends with a vowel and과 when the word ends with a consonant

[Michelle390991]

When do we use "돈는" instead of "와/과"?

[Chimmysan]

돈는 is 'or' and 와/과 is 'and'

[Mimi580976]

isn't is should be 또는?

[ValeriaMun536546]

Thats "or"

[Kyle58015]

Why doesn't this use 과 instead of 와, i thought 과 was supposed to be after a vowel, but here they used 와, which should be after a consonant, and 학교 ends in a vowel.

[Rebecca640479]

Is there a diffrence between: A school and a bread- school and bread?

[Vv_da_kpop_queen]

I have been having too much trouble with the basics man ;-;

[Germans574620]

Totally confusing

[stormyzapa]

i typed it in correctly but i made a space between 하규 and 와. And that made it wrong for me. So there isnt a space between them?

[ph.bt7N9N]

i don't understand some words

[ph.0ndKhW]

should it be 학교과 instead of 학교화???

[GjzsMV]

I got the write answer but it is telling it's wrong.... Someone needs to fix it.

[Demetrio593549]

You need to fix your english before than korean

[mesvensson]

This isn't an English class. Don't be an ass. Also if you're going to be an ass about other people's language skills, try some punctuation and capitalization.

[ph.bt7N9N]

right

[nguyenchi025]

Not fair
