there

adverb LAH Less Common

Origin: from Latin illac

Also means

over there

Usage Note

points to a place far from both speaker and listener, while indicates somewhere a bit nearer; both contrast with qui/qua ('here'). It needs the grave accent to distinguish it from la (the article 'the'). You hear it in di là (over there, that way).

Examples

"La stazione è proprio ."

Natural Translation

The station is right over there.

Literal Translation

The station is right there.
