How to Say "With You" in Korean

너와 함께

neowa hamkke

The English phrase "with you" is translated into Korean as 너와 함께 (neowa hamkke).

The phrase is used to describe being in the company of another person.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase is composed of 너 (you), the particle 와 (with/and) and 함께 (together).

Additionally, in spoken, casual conversation, the particle 랑 is often used instead of 와, resulting in 너랑 함께.

If you are speaking to someone older or in a higher social position, you cannot use 너와 함께 because the word 너 is strictly for equals or subordinates. To be polite, you would replace it with a title or the person's name plus a respect-honorific.
The word 함께 was written as ᄒᆞᆫᄢᅴ〮 in the 15th century. This Middle Korean version used an archaic consonant and a tone marker that no longer exist in modern writing.
In casual speech, the particle 랑 is more common than 와. To make it even more natural, speakers often drop 함께 and just say 너랑, which implies 'with you' on its own.
