The particle で indicates where the event described by the verb takes place.
図書館で 本を読みます。
I will read books in the library.

に has a few meanings though:
1.The goal toward which things move.
私は今日学校 に 行きません。
I will not go to school today.
2.The time of an event.
日曜日 に 京都に行きます。
I will go to Kyoto on Sunday.

I hope that helps a little

Yep, very. Thanks. ^_^

When someone says e.g. 行けば... or any sentence that ends abruptly, they can have several different meanings to that. However, whatever that it may meant, the delicate meaning of the whole sentence can only be understood between the speaker and the listener. It may be something that they had done before together, spoke about or something that is of mutual interest to them.

One can says that as an encouragement,
e.g. Why don't you go, since you are good at it?

or sarcastically,
e.g. Go ahead and go, you're doomed for failure anyway.

or to throw a challenge,
e.g. You should go/Why don't you go and prove it to me!

or in frustration/fed-up mood,,
e.g. Why don't you go ... (and stop talking about it?)


It all depends......

I have a lot of sarcastic friends fromm Osaka...

I have seen it a couple different ways, but this one is probably the best.

The "TI" sound in Martin doesn't come naturally in Japanese, so a lazy way to write it would be マーチン　which is pronounced "MAACHIN" (hard CH) which is what a lot of people in Japan are going to call you...that's why I'd use the one you found.

hey MMM whats the proper kanjji for saisho (1st)? thanks
also what does this 追加 say?

[SSJup81]

Hey everyone. I'm trying to write out an message, but I'm unsure of how to say something. How does one say "sister city"? I was trying to say that Saitama is my sister city.

I'm not MMM, but I'm pretty sure that it would be 最初.

Right. Don't count on just me to answer questions...or you will be waiting all night.

姉妹都市 is "sister cities"
