"Di sini atau di sana?"

Translation: Here or there?

[drKcabSK]

Could someone remind me again the order of "there"s in proximity to the speaker? Di sini is here as in right next to me, di sana is just there, and di situ is way over there?

Yes, it's exactly like that.

I've seen comments stating the opposite, so I wrote it down as sini -> situ -> sana...

Oops... Sorry...You're right :

sini = here
situ = there
sana = there (further away)

The above explanation is perfect. But don't worry, using 'situ' and 'sana' interchangeably won't be a big problem. We also misuse it all the time. We'll still understand you eventhough you use it interchangeably.
