Questions & Answers about jumare kapeeseo cha masillae?

Why is it 주말에 and not 주말에서?

-에 is used with time (and also destinations). 주말에 means on the weekend.
-에서 is used with places where an action happens (e.g., 카페에서 = at the cafe). You generally don’t use -에서 for time words like 주말.

What’s the difference between 카페에 and 카페에서 here?

• 카페에 = to the cafe (destination / movement)
• 카페에서 = at the cafe (location where the action happens)
  Since 마시다 (to drink) happens in the cafe, 카페에서 is correct.

Does 차 definitely mean tea? Could it mean car?

차 can mean both tea and car, but context usually makes it clear. With 마시다 (to drink), 차 is understood as tea (or sometimes a hot drink). If it were car, you’d expect verbs like 타다 (ride) or 운전하다 (drive).
