I could give you a detailed list of the Italian complements which correspond to で and に...but I think that would be the wrong way since they both can be stato in luogo (indicate a place). I will try to explain how they work so you won't need to translate them and it will be easier to use them.
に shows an area (space or time) where something, someone or an event exist.
Moreover it represents where an action ends (complemento di termine).
で shows the place where and action takes place. It is used also for other things like to indicate a price or again to show the means (complemento di mezzo).
Using some examples...
ﾚｽｵﾗﾝに犬がいます in this case the dog exists in the restaurant
ﾚｽﾄﾗﾝで犬が食べます in this case the dog is eating at the restaurant, thus the action of eating is taking place at the restaurant.
Hopefully I didn't mess all up hee hee.
As I always say...trust more others than what I say  |
Well if you read the whole thread how could you miss this post? I see clearly explained how to use NI and DE.
