に [ni] is a placement particle locating a point in time or space, で [de] indicates the domain in which the totality of an event takes place.

The particle に requires something physical, such as 東京に本店があります,whereas, で requires some activity, such as 東京で会合があります.

dc

Is this correct?

明日の朝で私が東京に打合せがありますので

明日の朝に 私が 東京で 打ち合わせがありますので...

I wouldn't say 東京に会合があります。 But I'd say 東京にて会合があります。

Miki

In the case of 東京で会合があります、basically にて and で are the same.

Miki

Miki, but basically にて and で are the same, right? Or is there a difference?
