What is the difference between ahi and alli? Thank you.

Question

I was just wondering if there's a difference between these two words, or is ahi just a wrong way to spell alli?

Answer 1

ahí = there, near the listener

allí = there, away from both the speaker and the listener, but in their general vicinity

allá = there, further away from them

aquí = here, near the speaker

acá = here, in the general area of the speaker

This is how I use these. - Daniel, Jan 8, 2010

They both mean there but you would say ahí to mean there in close proximity and allí to mean further away.

Answer 3

Ahi es más cercana que alli. Es como esto y eso.
