I've been going through Tae Kim's grammar guide and cannot work out how the と particle works in this sentence:

韓国人と結婚しなくてはならん！(You must marry a Korean!)

Is [韓国人と結婚] like saying "marriage with Korean person"?

Yes, that's exactly it.

Thanks very much. ^_^

(I can't wait till I've finished Tae Kim's guide so I can finally solidify some of this grammar with additional sentences.)

Incidentally, "韓国人と結婚" is kind of breaking the sentence in the wrong place because you've broken the verb (結婚する) in half. 韓国人と結婚する : 'to marry a Korean'. (That is, this と is the 'doing a verb together with somebody else' one, not the 'noun and noun' one.)

My brain wants to adjust this to 韓国人との結婚.

Yeah, I was thinking that too. Like pm215 said, it becomes noun + noun otherwise, which is odd in this situation "koreans and marriage, good stuff!". I mean, it's grammatically correct, but not something you would use often.'

However, I fear we might confuse Ydde2009 with these points ^^
