¡Hola!, y ¡Bienvenido!

Below is a link that will explain what you are asking:

Here and There (right-click, then left-click on "Open in New Window", and a seperate web page will open, so you can still be on spanish.dict.com.)

Due credit to uaxuctum

"aquí" means "(en) este lugar": where the speaker is, or some nearby location "ahí" means "(en) ese lugar": where the hearer is, or some location that is neither near nor far but somewhere in-between "allí" means "(en) aquel lugar": where neither the speaker nor the hearer is, or some far away location Two simple examples:

"Yo estoy aquí, tú estás ahí y él está allí." "Esto está aquí, eso está ahí y aquello está allí."

Welcome to the forum Laura, Aquí means here and allí is over there but it's a bit more involved than that with context, gender and a bunch of other neat stuff you can learn right here at SpanishDict.com.
