Agui alla y por todas partes.
I,m not sure when to use some of the above words.Alla arriba/abajo i know but what is,'over there''Also when is ahi used instead of ala.One more thing i was watching a film a few weeks ago,and i'm sure a spanish character in it said something like;'aquita',saying aqui,aqui,aquita,whilst waiting for some people to move into a trap.Is there such a word'

aquí is here, allá is there, por todas partes is every where. hey, that rhymes
aquietar is to quieten down. aquita may be a command from this verb
Because the "solution is here" and not "there" as using "alla" would indicate. all adverbs, but a difference in location. "ahi" is a determinate location where "alla" indicates open space. "aqui" is a specific location. "aquita" is not a spanish word, nor a diminutive of "aqui". he could have been saying anything. sometimes actors adlib when they forget the spanish word they are supposed to be saying. it's too costly to reshoot the scene. if it sounds close enough, it's a take. hope this helps.

knew you would have the answer.
I don't think so because it would have the stem aquiet instead of aquit.
hi cherry
when you read john's post he mentions about a trap. couldn't aquita come from the verb aquietar. ie quieten down as a command
Aquita is just a diminutive form of aqui. It really doesn't change the meaning much. He was probably saying something like Over here, over here, a little closer. (like más cerquita.)
Also I notice that you wrote ala which means wing i think you meant allá.
