A lot? I only see it twice -- メールにて both times. That にて means で.
Where do you see it used to mean に? にて never means に in the first place.
にて can only mean で. |
Sorry, my "used alot in this email" maybe was too extreem LOL. I said that coz I saw only 3 particles and 2 out of 3 is にて. I guess mine was a mistake, coz I thought in the second case I would have used に and not で.
As per the use of it, I remember asking a long time ago in this forum the meaning of にて coz I had found it in the title of a book chapter. A native speaker back then told me it means で, but that I couldn't use to replace で regularly speaking coz I would have sounded un-nutural, thus I assumed it was almost never used.
