🌈 The Big Picture

• $$\color{purple}{\text{오늘부터}}$$ [o-neul-bu-teo] = from today

• $$\color{purple}{\text{내일까지}}$$ [nae-il-kka-ji] = until tomorrow

• $$\color{purple}{\text{아침부터 저녁까지}}$$ [a-chim-bu-teo jeo-nyeok-kka-ji] = from morning until evening

🧩 The Core Time Family

• $$\color{purple}{\text{오늘}}$$ [o-neul] → $$\color{purple}{\text{오늘부터}}$$ [o-neul-bu-teo]

• $$\color{purple}{\text{내일}}$$ [nae-il] → $$\color{purple}{\text{내일까지}}$$ [nae-il-kka-ji]

• $$\color{purple}{\text{월요일}}$$ [wo-ryo-il] → $$\color{purple}{\text{월요일부터}}$$ [wo-ryo-il-bu-teo]

• $$\color{purple}{\text{금요일}}$$ [geum-yo-il] → $$\color{purple}{\text{금요일까지}}$$ [geum-yo-il-kka-ji]

• $$\color{purple}{\text{한 시}}$$ [han si] → $$\color{purple}{\text{한 시부터}}$$ [han si-bu-teo]

• $$\color{purple}{\text{세 시}}$$ [se si] → $$\color{purple}{\text{세 시까지}}$$ [se si-kka-ji]

🛠️ How It Works

🚨 Exception Rule

• ❌ $$\color{purple}{\text{부터 오늘}}$$ → ✅ $$\color{purple}{\text{오늘부터}}$$

• ❌ $$\color{purple}{\text{까지 내일}}$$ → ✅ $$\color{purple}{\text{내일까지}}$$

📚 Cross-check note

🪞 Synonym Alert

• $$\color{purple}{\text{부터}}$$ [bu-teo] = from / starting at, especially time or sequence.

• $$\color{purple}{\text{까지}}$$ [kka-ji] = until / up to.

• $$\color{purple}{\text{에서}}$$ [e-seo] can mean “from” for places, but this lesson is about time.

⚠️ Pitfalls to Dodge

• ❌ Start point with $$\color{purple}{\text{까지}}$$ → ✅ use $$\color{purple}{\text{부터}}$$.

• ❌ End point with $$\color{purple}{\text{부터}}$$ → ✅ use $$\color{purple}{\text{까지}}$$.

• ❌ $$\color{purple}{\text{부터 오늘}}$$ → ✅ $$\color{purple}{\text{오늘부터}}$$ (particle goes after the time word)
