Usage Notes

से is one of the most versatile postpositions. It can mean "from" (a place/time), "with" (an instrument), "by" (a method), or "than" (comparison: वह मुझसे बड़ा है = he is older than me).

Don't confuse से (from/with/by) with के साथ (together with a person). You cut bread with a knife (चाकू से) but you go with a friend (दोस्त के साथ).
