목적: purpose, goal, end. 목적지: destination. 목적 + 지(place, location). 이르다: reach, or come to a place, point in time, a situation, state, etc. SYNONYM: 다다르다. 도달하다: same as 이르다, but slightly more formal. 도착하다: arrive at a place. Unlike the 이르다 and 도달하다, 도착하다 is only used with a physical place. When talking about arriving at a final destination, 도착하다 is most commonly used. For reaching a milestone or arriving at an interim destination, 이르다 and 도달하다 may work better.
