Ahí

Ahí (there) is an adverb that expresses location. It refers to a place farther than "aquí" (here) but closer than "allí" (over there). It is a two-syllab word so it must be pronounced /a-í/, with emphasis on the letter "i", to avoid confussion with the homophonics "hay" /ái/ and "ay" /ái/, one-syllab words with emphasis on the letter "a".

- ¿Dónde están mis llaves?
- Están ahí, sobre la mesa.
- Where are my keys?
- They are there, on the table.

Ahí can also mean "on this" or "on that".

Ahí estamos de acuerdo.
We agree on that.
