(이)랑: And / With — The Casual Spoken One

And / with — the casual spoken particle linking nouns or marking a companion.

Before this, make sure you know: -아요 / -어요 , 과/와, 하고

How to form it

When	Form	Example
Noun ends in a consonant	N + 이랑	책이랑 / 빵이랑
Noun ends in a vowel	N + 랑	친구랑 / 저랑

(이)랑 is the casual spoken and / with.

우리말샘 lists 이랑 after consonant nouns for doing something together and for linking nouns as equals. Classroom Korean pairs vowel-final nouns with 랑.
