"The shirt is under the jacket" can have two meanings in English: - The shirt and the jacket are touching (maybe lying on the ground), and the shirt is closer to the Earth. - Someone is wearing the shirt and the jacket, and the shirt is closer to the wearer's body.
Can "Das Hemd ist unter der Jacke" mean both those things in German?

I don't understand the difference between unter and unten. Is unten only used when things are not touching?
