I'm hitchhiking around the world, learning bits of the languages on the road as needed. At the start I had a trip in Japan from Shimonoseki -> Osaka -> Kyoto -> Yamagata up the west coast -> Tokyo down the east coast -> Shimonoseki.

I'm now in Korea where I come across a bit of Japanese language and often compare it to Korean.

comment What are other language equivalents to Japanese particles?
Actually maps better to the instrumental case in languages which have one than it does to English. Languages which rely only on adpositions generally have greater variety in usage as compared to languages with case systems. For instance in the language I'm currently studying, Georgian, does map to the instrumental case ending -ით for both examples you give.

Is this the word written as kanji , kana つか? In modern Korean ? Can you provide a reference as to its Korean origin? I couldn't find one so far by googling...
