\u00a1Hola! \u00bfC\u00f3mo est\u00e1s?<\/em><\/p>\n

Today we’re going to start a series of posts to learn the Spanish adverbs more deeply – and yes, you will learn all the differences among them.<\/p>\n

Adverbs are invariable words that qualify a verb, an adjective, another adverb or even a pronoun. Today we’re going to learn the place adverbs, los adverbios de lugar.<\/p>\n

1. Aqu\u00ed – Ac\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n

They both mean “here”. Ac\u00e1<\/strong>, however, indicates a place that’s not so determined and because of that it can come in several expressions like tan ac\u00e1, m\u00e1s ac\u00e1, muy ac\u00e1<\/em><\/strong>. In some countries in Latin America, ac\u00e1<\/strong> replaces aqu\u00ed<\/strong>. Some examples:<\/p>\n

Aqu\u00ed est\u00e1n las entradas para el teatro.<\/em>
\n Aqu\u00ed est\u00e1 la ra\u00edz de los problemas.<\/em><\/p>\n

Ac\u00e1 no hace mucho fr\u00edo en invierno.<\/em>
\n Lo veo muy triste de un tiempo ac\u00e1<\/strong> [recently, these days].<\/em>
\n Pon el sof\u00e1 un poco m\u00e1s ac\u00e1<\/strong> [a little closer].<\/em><\/p>\n

De ayer ac\u00e1<\/strong> [since yesterday] el tiempo ha mejorado mucho.<\/em>
\n Desde entonces ac\u00e1<\/strong> [since then] ya no se habla de lo ocurrido.<\/em><\/p>\n

2. All\u00ed – All\u00e1<\/strong><\/p>\n

All\u00ed<\/strong> means “over there”. All\u00e1<\/strong> indicates a time that’s not so determined and it can come in several expressions like tan all\u00e1, m\u00e1s all\u00e1, muy all\u00e1<\/strong><\/em>.<\/p>\n

All\u00ed el clima siempre es muy bueno.<\/em>
\n Mis libros est\u00e1n all\u00ed en el armario.<\/em><\/p>\n

All\u00e1 en el campo la vida es mucho m\u00e1s tranquila.<\/em>
\n Su capacidad est\u00e1 m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de lo que suponemos.<\/em><\/p>\n

All\u00e1<\/strong> can also refer to a non-specific time in the past or future.<\/p>\n

All\u00e1 por los a\u00f1os 60 hubo una gran revoluci\u00f3n de las costumbres sociales.<\/em>
\n All\u00e1 por el a\u00f1o 2000 se espera un gran aumento en la poblaci\u00f3n mundial.<\/em><\/p>\n

3. Ah\u00ed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ah\u00ed<\/strong> means “over there”, where someone is or where a situation happens.<\/p>\n

Ah\u00ed est\u00e1 lo dif\u00edcil de la situaci\u00f3n.<\/em>
\n Dej\u00e9 mis llaves ah\u00ed en la mesa de la sala.<\/em><\/p>\n

4. Encima<\/strong><\/p>\n

Encima<\/strong> can mean “on” (indicating a surface), “besides”, “on me, on you” (when you have something with you).<\/p>\n

Los huevos los dej\u00e9 encima de la mesa de la cocina.<\/em>
\n Maneja muy bien y encima corre much\u00edsimo.<\/em>
\n No llevo encima mi cartera.<\/em><\/p>\n

(Muy) por encima<\/strong> means “superficially”.<\/p>\n

Hizo el acabado de los muebles muy por encima.<\/em>
\n Le\u00ed los informes muy por encima.<\/em><\/p>\n

5. Bajo<\/strong><\/p>\n

Bajo<\/strong> means “under”.<\/p>\n

Mi nombre aparece bajo el tuyo.<\/em>
\n El ni\u00f1o se escondi\u00f3 bajo la mesa.<\/em>
\n Partieron baoj una intensa lluvia.<\/em>
\n Concluy\u00f3 el trabajo bajo mucha presi\u00f3n.<\/em><\/p>\n

\n Fuera de los chicos, nadie prob\u00f3 la torta.<\/em><\/p>\n

7. A lo lejos<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lo lejos<\/strong> means “in the distance”, “far away”.<\/p>\n

A lo lejos se pod\u00eda o\u00edr la m\u00fasica que ven\u00eda del sal\u00f3n.<\/em>
\n A lo lejos se ve\u00eda el humo que echaban las chimeneas de las f\u00e1bricas.<\/em><\/p>\n

8. Aparte<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aparte<\/strong> can mean “apart”, “separately”, “except”.<\/p>\n

Pon la salsa aparte y cocina la pasta.<\/em>
\n Aparte Juan, nadie concuerda conmigo.<\/em><\/p>\n

It can also be used after a noun:<\/p>\n

Bromas aparte…<\/em>
\n Modestia aparte…<\/em>
\n Negocios aparte…<\/em><\/p>\n

Aparte<\/strong> also comes with preposition de<\/strong>:<\/p>\n
