    Why is "The man is over there" not a correct translation? Seems more natural in English to me than "the man is there"

      Why can we not also say 'OVER there'? Would the preposition need to follow the verb for it to mean 'over there' rather than just 'there'? So, am I getting closer, or digging a deeper hole -it seems difficult to tell with this language coming from US English?!

        Ott? Van? Which one is "there"? When to use them?

          • férfi "man"
          • ott "there"
