33How to know when to use -에 or -에서 as a location marker particle?
They are very similar; both can be attached to places/objects to indicate being at/in/on that place or object.
When to attach -에: You use this when talking about coming/going somewhere, putting something somewhere, or looking at somewhere. Here the verb is not happening ‘in’ the location:
서울에 가고 싶다 - To want to go to Seoul
책을 테이블에 놓다 - To place the book on the table
The speaker is outside of Seoul wanting to go, the speaker is apart from the table and placing a book upon it. The verb is being done outside of the location or towards that location. (To use -에서 would indicate that the speaker is somehow on/in the table when acting out the verb of ‘placing’.)
When to attach -에서: Use this when the verb is actually being carried out in/at that place:
서울에서 공부하다 - To study in Seoul
집에서 자다 - To sleep at home
The verb ‘study’ is being done in Seoul, the verb ‘sleep’ is being done at home.
