Enfrente and encima are not words that overlap particularly/

Encima- is on top of, above or over

The word to wonder about the overlap with it would be sobre (often they both could serve)

Enfrente- is opposite, facing on- like the house accross the street from yours.

Delante is the word to confuse with it- delante means in front of - on some occaisons either could serve, but not always.

Go to translation, enter one word and you will find it's definitiona nd examples of usage.

Good answer. I use (as much of the Spanishs people) enfrente and delante as synonyms - txustaboy, Sep 22, 2015
