Gracias por la rápida contestación, Crotalito. Entiendo que de las dos opciones sólo usas una: allí, a tu lado. La otra no la usas. ¿Te he entendido bien?

No es necesario que traduzcas esta vez al inglés. Se trata de pensar, esta vez, sólo en español... Para nuestro amigos que aprenden español.

Gracias por anticipado.

Diría ahí, no allí.

Allí sólo si ambos estamos separados de lo que señalamos.

También tú los distingues. Luego parece que no es sólo modismo, ¿no?

Ven aquí. Siéntate ahí. ¿Qué es eso que has dejado allï?
Why the h*** did I just write this? I'm growing desperate, it seems.

¿Cómo que estás mal? La chorrada que acabo de escribir no se refería en absoluto a tí.It was more a reflection on the state of my life...

Of course not. I don't mean you don't talk properly. I only notice our different language usages, and, perhaps, each language self-consciousness. Language is to communicate. Sure you use it for this quite well. It was only a research about the subject of the thread. Your answers have been enlightening for me. Now, it's time to go to bed for me. Good night and thanks a lot.
