알콜남용은 가정폭력에 이를 수 있다.
Can someone explain the 이를 part. I know what the whole sentence means, but what does 이를 mean in this sentence. Can you provide other example sentences?

Question

Answer

이를 in 이를 수 있다 in that example comes from the verb '이르다' which can be translated to "to approach", "to lead to", etc. in English.

So the entire sentence means "Alcoholism may lead to domestic violence."
