One of the differences between Argentine Spanish and many other Spanish dialects (I’m not sure if all others) has to do with the use of a different group of adverbs to express location.

In Spanish we have three options which refer to the relative position of something according to who is near it: near me, near you and far from both of us and which can roughly be translated as here, there, over there respectively.

Para hacerla corta, in Argentina, you’ll only hear the words in the last column.

Happy Spanish learning,

Until next time,
