What does 주말에 mean, and why is 에 used?
주말에 means on the weekend or at the weekend.
The particle 에 is often used with time expressions to mark when something happens. So:
- 주말 = weekend
- 주말에 = on the weekend

Why is it 친구들과 instead of just 친구들?
친구들과 means with friends.
Breakdown:
- 친구 = friend
- 들 = plural marker, so 친구들 = friends
- 과 = with (more formal/written style)
- 친구들과 = with friends
The 과 changes to 과/와 depending on the previous sound, but here it appears as 들과 because it is attached after 친구들.
You could also hear:
- 친구들하고
- 친구들이랑
These also mean with friends, but they feel a bit more conversational.
Do I need the 들 in 친구들? Can Korean leave out the plural?
