🌸에서/까지 and 부터/까지 🌸

One of the first things you’ll run into when learning Korean is how to say “from ___ to ___.” The good news? It’s not too complicated; you just need to know whether you’re talking about place or time.

📍 에서 → 까지 = from (a place) → to (a place) ⏰ 부터 → 까지 = from (a time) → until (a time)

When you’re describing a location or distance, use 에서/까지.

When you’re describing a time frame or duration, use 부터/까지.

Don’t worry if you mix them up sometimes — even native speakers occasionally swap them in casual speech. But for clear, natural Korean, keep this place vs. time distinction in mind!
