with / from / than — the other party

Same syllable as the 'and' 와, but here it marks the second party the action needs: 누군가와 함께 'together with someone', VJ와 만나다 'meet up with the VJ', 아버지와 성격이 다르다 'have a different personality from my father'. It pairs with verbs and adjectives that logically involve two sides — 만나다, 어울리다, 같다, 다르다. After a consonant it becomes 과, and casual speech swaps in 랑 or 하고.

Register: neutral to written; 랑/하고 in casual speech
