Long explanation:
'~에 [e]' is a particle used in Korean to denote a specific location, time, or direction. It translates to 'on', 'at', 'in', or 'to' in English and is placed after a noun to express where something is located, when something happened, or the direction in which something is moving. Remember that '~에 [e]' does not express movement towards a location, so it is not used in cases where the English equivalent would be 'to'.
