N(으)로 하다
Quick answer: N(으)로 하다 means go with N — choosing one option.
How to form it
No final consonant or ㄹ → 로 하다 · final consonant → 으로 하다 · 이거 → 이걸로
In Korean: 받침 X·ㄹ → 로 하다 받침 O → 으로 하다 이거 → 이걸로
What to know
This is the same (으)로 you used for transport in 10-1 — by this means. When choosing, 이것으로 shortens to 이걸로 in speech, and that is what you will hear in shops.
Examples
- 이걸로 주세요.I'll take this one.
- 검은색으로 할까요?Shall we go with black?
