I.there [Brit ðɛː, ðə, Am ðɛr]ZAIM.(as impersonal subject)There is generally translated by là after prepositions (up to there = fino a là) and when emphasizing the location of an object/point etc. visible to the speaker: put them there = metteteli là. - Remember that ecco is used in Italian to draw attention to a visible place/object/person (there's our village! = ecco il nostro villaggio! there's my watch! = ecco il mio orologio! there comes Mary! = ecco che arriva Mary!), whereas c'è /ci sono is used for generalizations: there's a village nearby = c'è vicino un villaggio. - There when unstressed with verbs such as go and be is translated by ci (we went there last year = ci siamo andati l'anno scorso; we'll be there in a few minutes = ci arriveremo tra pochi minuti), but not where emphasis is made: it was there that we went last year = è là che siamo andati l'anno scorso. - For examples of the above and further uses of there, see this entry.
I.where [Brit wɛː, Am (h)wɛr]PRZYSŁ.When used to introduce direct or indirect questions, where is generally translated by dove: where are the plates? = dove sono i piatti? do you know where he's going? = sai dove sta andando? I don't know where the knives are = non so dove sono i coltelli. Note that in indirect questions, where requires no inversion of the verb. - When a preposition is used with where as an adverb, the preposition follows the verb in English, but not in Italian: where do you come from? = da dove vieni? I don't know where he comes from = non so da dove venga. - When used as a relative, where is translated by dove or in cui: the village where we live = il paese in cui/dove viviamo.
