"Jestem obok ciebie."

Translation: I am next to you.

[schmidzy]

Difference between obok and przy?

[lukazn7]

Obok is like 'next to' and przy is like 'near' i think

[Poleon21]

I am not sure but it seems that 'obok' refers to 'the position' of being next to something whereas 'przy' rather refers to 'the distance'

[mgaristova]

I wrote "next to you", but could it also be translated as "by your side"?

[Yola448704]

obok ciebie - next to you (close, but still within some distance)

przy tobie - by your side (very close, within almost no distance)

[Lord_Pengwyn]

I am behind the door? I am under the bed, i am next to you? Stalker alert!!!

[Aytacz]

I always see on the doors of shops.
"Wejście jest obok."
Or something like this.

[Aytacz]

Is "ciebie" in instrumental case here too?

[idanlipin]

Genitive

[maylas2000]

Based off something I seem to remember from somewhere else, can't "obok" also mean "about"?

[RobertMacK974972]

Could you also say, "Jestem przy tobie" ?

[Jellei]

Yes, it's accepted. It's less literal than "obok ciebie" (literally standing right next to you) though.

[RobertMacK974972]

Thank you for the clarification.

[MaryCarson15]

Would 'cie' be acceptable as well?

[alik1989]

No, clitics (unaccented short pronouns) such as cię, ci, go, mu and mi can't be put after a preposition.

[ThomasLieg1]

What about "I am close to you"?

[Jellei]

That's too vague, "obok" really means that I am right next to you, "close", depending on the scale we assume, can be let's say 15 kilometers.
