"Maten är på tallriken"; på can mean "on"? But "to" as well?

Just like in English, prepositions get different meanings with different verbs and nouns. So it depends on context. The most frequent prepositions get a lot of meanings.
Maten är på tallriken – The food is on the plate.
Jag tittar på dig. – I'm looking at you.
Jag tänker på dig. – I'm thinking of you.
Vi går på bio. – We're going to the movies.
Just stick with the course and you'll pick it up!

Like it says, it's just a matter of learning, practice and remembering! Overwhelming at first, but your brain does start to pick it up
