"O cachorro come ali."

Translation: The dog eats there.

[Danmoller]

Ali = there (near)

Lá = there (far) / over there

[emegele]

You can think like this:

Aqui = here (near the person who is talking - 1st person)

Aí = there (near the person with whom you're talking - 2nd person)

Lá = there (near the person or thing or place of which the first and the second people are talking - 3rd person)

Ali = there / over there (near the first and the second person - 1st person plural)

[Danmoller]

PS: "ali" neither too near, nor too far. It's a short distance.

[KemotS]

How about "por ali" ? Like in the sentence "O parque é por ali"?
Does "O cachorro come por ali" mean the same as ""O cachorro come ali."?

[Tiqmas]

Por ali means "around there"

[itswarmerinmiami]

If it has an "l", it's not nearby. Aqui and ai are near while ali and la are not. And la can be really far, like in la-la-land.

[IdeasAndAction]

And aqui = here?

[eskowron]

ali is an adverb...?

[DanielTietz]

yes
