    Oh and if it’s not too much work, could you perphaps elaborate on these functions for に:
    - Marks indirect object (benificiary of verb being done)
    - Marks the purpose for doing a movement verb
    - Marks location-of-existence

    Rereading it now I don’t think I quite understood what those meant exactly, so an example might help (but if TextFugu covers this in later chapters you can just ignore this.)

    So, one more time to make sure I got it right now, using Brook’s example:
    スーパー を でましたか? – Did you leave the Supermarket?
    What did you leave? – The Supermarket.
    The Supermarket is the direct object of the verb “to leave” and therefore in this particular example the particle を, which indicates a direct object of a verb, is used. Right?

    I don’t know what else to say other than thank you guys! I’ll actually go and rewrite my notes on both を and に now since your examples really helped to get to the bottom of the issue. I actually have not officially learned about へ or the other uses of に yet, so now I’ve gained some extra knowledge in advance, which will surely come in handy ;)
    And thanks for the link Brook, I’ll make sure to check it whenever I come across a new particle!

    I’m glad I asked, your explanation helped a lot! Thanks again.
