there (at that place)

adverb ah-YEE Common
Grammar & Structure Adverbs

Usage Note

Allí marks a specific place that is distant from both speaker and listener — it is more precise than ahí ('there, near you') and the most distant of the three-way contrast: aquí (here) / ahí (there, near you) / allí (there, away from both). In informal Latin American speech, allá often replaces allí for this distant position.

Examples

"Él vive allí desde hace años."
