Japanese

<p>
	We use the particle <strong>に</strong> for saying that something is present at a certain location.

<table class="ui fixed celled table">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th>English</th>
			<th>Japanese</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr data-item="26066"></tr>
		<tr data-item="26067"></tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

<p>
	Note how <strong>あります</strong> is translated with <strong>to have</strong> in the sentence above.
	<strong>To have</strong> is a second meaning of the verb <strong>ある</strong>.
</p>

<p>
	When an event or action is happening at a particular place, we use the particle <strong>で</strong> instead of <strong>に</strong>.

<table class="ui fixed celled table">
	<thead>
		<tr>
			<th>English</th>
			<th>Japanese</th>
		</tr>
	</thead>
	<tbody>
		<tr data-item="26068"></tr>
		<tr data-item="26070"></tr>
	</tbody>
</table>

<p>
	Note the <strong>お</strong> in front of <strong><ruby>店mise</ruby></strong>.
	The <strong>お</strong> is an honorific prefix, showing respect to the person or object you are talking about.
	There are several words that commonly go together with this prefix.
	For example, it can also come in front of <strong><ruby>水mizu</ruby></strong> to make <strong>お<ruby>水mizu</ruby></strong>.
	Using <strong>お</strong> is polite, and in casual speech you would just say <strong><ruby>水mizu</ruby></strong> and <strong><ruby>店mise</ruby></strong>.
