Someone can explain me the use of the word hither.

I mean, I can use this word in the following phrase.


El carro aca esta.


The car hither here.

I appreciate your support.

hither significa aquí/acá.
La palabra hither casi no se usa sino en inglés contemporáneo sino en el
modismo come hither stare/gaze.

Sí, en inglés se usa "hither" para indicar "here" con un sentido de humor ligero.

Por ejemplo, "...hither, thither, and yon." = "...here, there, and everywhere.". (Old-fashioned words)

@Katerina: can you post the whole sentence so we can provide an accurate proposal for the meaning?

I'm curious - the only meaning i'm aware of for "enredadera" is a
"clinging" type of vine. Seems like the use here is a figurative/comparative
term, suggesting a seductive web.

"Enredadera" for a wine? I'd say un vino peleón, but not enredadera.

Ha dicho "vine" (vid), no "wine" (vino).

Mejor saber vivir que morir por la mancha.


It better to know life that die for the splash.


I don't know if my translation is right.

Hmmm Then I think I would go with Hermit's interpretation. Clinging stare one you can easily get tangled into....

I'd say it's a stare that "clings" all over and "covers" the whole figure of the woman.
The little being watches each and every detail of her aspect.
