-처럼 is used to express something has the similar shape to or is in similar condition to another one, so completely synonymous with 'like' or 'as' for example: 새처럼 하늘을 날아봤으면 : Wish I could fly in the sky like a bird. 새것 같아 보이네요 : It looks good as new.

Yes. both are interchangeable to use in the specific situation. * 물건 is the same as 'thing(s)' and 'matter', both of which have physical forms. If you want to express 'matter' such as 'what's the matter?', use '일', '문제(problem)' * 사물 has the meaning of '물건', but sounds more formal. Yes, that's not used in colloquially, but in the field of law and philosophy. Unfortunately, there's no the perfect synonym for the word 'object' since it's sometimes used for goal(목표) or target(대상). So, It's difficult for translator to translate 'object': In philosophy, object is the same as '객체', in computer science, 오브젝트... and so on.

You may know Korean words consist of three kinds of structure; an initial consonant(초성), a vowel(중성) known as 모음 and an final consonant(종성) commonly called as 받침. For example, 밥 can be divided up into 초성 'ㅂ', 중성 'ㅏ', 종성 'ㅂ' Most of consonants in Korean words are variously pronounced depending on where they are. Before taking up the main subject, I'd like to give you my opinion. I really have no idea why Korean Language learners have to understand it even though 95% of Koreans aren't aware of such difference as it's negligible for non-linguist. To get back to the point, 'ㄹ' can be pronounced in two ways, /l/ and /r/ (not identical to English and German): 1. /l/ - ㄹ is at an initial consonant of the first letter; 라디오, 라면. - ㄹ is at an final consonant; 말, 달, 꿀벌 - ㄹ is at an final consonant and an initial consonant of the next syllable is ALSO 'ㄹ'; 진달래, 벌레 (for convenience, /r/ is changed to /l/) 2. /r/ - 'ㄹ' is at an initial consonant of the first letter and the previous syllable has no consonant; 사랑, 바람, 오락, Let's practice. 커피를 - The first 'ㄹ' is at an initial consonant, the second 'ㄹ' is at an final consonant. so both are /l/ 식사하러 - 'ㄹ' is at an initial consonant, but the previous letter has no consonant. 'ㄹ' is /r/ All syllables are usually shortened, converted or merged into one in order to pronounce an word easily. There are many complicated irregular rules to understand though, I'll let you know most important one. Note that if every final consonant meets /ㅇ/, they are merged into one and become an initial consonant. For instance, 밖에 나가요[바께 나가요(bakke nagayo)], 볶음[보끔(bokkeum)]) So, 일이 -> 이리 -> 이/i/ + 리/ri/ 일주일에 -> 일주이레 -> 일/il/ + 주/ju/ + 이/i/ + 레/re/ 동료들과 -> 동뇨들과-> 동/dong/ + 뇨/nyo/ + 들/deul/ + 과/gwa/ (Too difficult for you this time, please ask me later :-p)
