question
particle-を particle-から
を降りる or から降りる ? Which one is correct
Both are correct, there is no difference in nuance. And both are commonly
used.

But, in my opinion, 車から降りる means "getting out of the car in order to go
somewhere". On the other hand, 車を降りる means "arriving the destination and
getting out of the car".

answer
Based on the following article cited in [this chiebukuro
answer](https://detail.chiebukuro.yahoo.co.jp/qa/question_detail/q11119950306).

  * 杉村泰, [起点を示す格助詞「を」と「から」の使い分け](https://nagoya.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/6472)

* * *

The following sentences are more natural with を.

  * 毎朝7時に家 **を** 出る
  * 大学 **を** 出てまっすぐ家に帰った
  * 母は4時にデパート **を** 出た

The following sentences are more natural with から.

  * 夫が知らない女の家 **から** 出てきたのをみた
  * 犯人は裏口 **から** 出てきた
  * 地震で崩れたビル **から** 出た

The difference is:

  * In sentences natural with を, the focus is on 'completing the purpose and leave the place'
  * In those natural with から, the focus is more on 'moving from one place to another'.

In line with this difference, 車から降りる is used when you mean just getting off a
car as a physical object where as 車を降りる is more natural when getting off the
car as a transportation, after arriving the destination ('completing the
purpose of using a car').

Because the word 'car' is often meant as a transportation, to some extent
車を降りる is more common although 車から降りる is perfectly correct.
