~に (location of existence)

grammar

85 sentences

The particle に marking a location of existence or position — 'at [a place].' Used with existence verbs (いる, ある) and with verbs like 立つ ('stand') when describing static position, not movement to it. Also marks the surface or location on which something rests, attaches, or moves (壁にかける 'hang on the wall'). With motion verbs (来る, 行く), に specifies the destination as a point. Distinct from で (location of action: 部屋で勉強する 'study in the room') and from を (path of motion).
