안녕하세요! I am Vaibhavi from India. In today' post let's talk about the various uses of ~(으)로 particle.
FORMATION RULES:
~로 is added to words(nouns) ending in a vowel, whereas
~(으)로 is added to words(nouns) ending in a consonant.
However, when the last consonant (받짐) is ㄹ, 로 is added instead of ~(으)로.
A) To indicate a tool or means or method of doing something. It can be equivalent to by, by means of,with etc.
Examples:
1) Jisoo ate ice cream with a spoon. = 지수는 아이스크림을 숟가락으로 떠먹었다.
2) I wiped the water off my hands with a handkerchief.= 나는 손에 묻은 물기를 손수건으로 닦았다.
3) I study with a Korean book. = 저는 한국어책으로 공부해요.
4) I will go to Je-ju by boat. = 배로 제주에 갈 거야.
B) ~(으)로 is used to indicate the direction that something is happening or the direction of motion. This usually has the same meaning as -에.
Examples:
1) We went to Jeju Island for our honeymoon. = 우리는 신혼여행을 제주도로 갔다 왔다.
2) I ran towards my home . = 나는 집으로 달려갔다.

2) The Korean President gave the speech in English. = 한국 대통령은 영어로 연설을 했습니다.
3) Please say that in Chinese. = 중국어로 해주세요.
D) ~(으)로 is also used to indicate what you ate for a specific meal.
