The term can refer to <strong>that or that which is located in a lower place<\/strong> with respect to another thing or individual.  For example: <em>\"The pink shirt is stored in the bottom drawer, not that one\"<\/em>, <em>\"My grandmother lives downstairs: I'm on the fifth floor and she is on the fourth\"<\/em>, <em>\"I'm going to put the boxes under the bed\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The notion below also refers to what <strong>advances or heads to a lower sector<\/strong>, or what is located <strong>lower<\/strong> on <strong>comparison<\/strong> with something that is located higher: <em>\"The owner of the cabin tries to bring down the tree, but the neighbors are against it\"<\/em>, <em>\"Due to the overturn, the driver was left with his head down\"<\/em>, <em>\"We will have to walk an hour downhill to get to the shelter\"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>In certain <strong>texts<\/strong>, the mention below allows to refer to something that <strong>will appear below<\/strong> and that you will be warned once the reading progresses.  A statement can begin by saying <em>\"The undersigned demand the cessation of attacks on freedom of the press ...\"<\/em> and, at the end of the text, include the signature of different people.  By clarifying at the beginning that <em>\"the undersigned\"<\/em> support what is said in the text, the signatures in question are needed to specify who supports what is said.<\/p>\n<p>Down is also used in <strong>exclamations<\/strong> that manifest the intention of <strong>abolish, repeal, ban, dismiss, remove or overthrow someone or something<\/strong>: <em>Down with capitalism!  Long live socialism! \"<\/em>, <em>\"Down with the police!\"<\/em>, <em>\u201cWe want foreign troops to leave our land!  Down with the invaders! \"<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/enorcerna.com\/wiki\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Abajo.jpg\" alt=\"Under\" width=\"250\" height=\"197\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-45253\"\/>Although we all know that our language is not the same in all Spanish-speaking countries, we tend to focus on accent differences and certain very particular regionalisms, thus ignoring the endless particularities present in each <em>version<\/em> from Spanish.  The term <em>under<\/em> is precisely the protagonist of one of these <strong>differences<\/strong>, and is in the same group as adverbs <em>above<\/em>, <em>behind<\/em> Y <em>go ahead<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>At present, the <em>New grammar of the Spanish language<\/em> You agree to use in all of the following forms: below, below, above, above, behind, behind, in front of, and in front of.  However, European Spanish opts for the <strong>buildings<\/strong> headed by <em>below<\/em>, <em>over, behind<\/em> Y <em>in front of<\/em>;  In other words, the adverbs of place preferred by European Spanish speakers are all those that do not begin with <em>to<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>From the point of view of a Latin American person, saying <em>\u00abI put the book under the bed\u00bb<\/em> or <em>\"My father was standing in front of the door\"<\/em> it is normal, does not sound bad or shows any signs of lack of correction.  As of today, as mentioned in the previous paragraph, you shouldn't notice any <strong>error<\/strong>as these forms have been accepted.  However, in Spain these phrases sound bad, they cannot be intoned naturally, since when trying to insert them into everyday speech they seem to have one letter too many;  and, in fact, it does.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, this does not mean that these terms are never used in European Spanish.  The examples just presented are sentences that indicate the location of a thing or a person, and in these cases Spain prefers adverbs that do not begin with <em>to<\/em>.  However, when the intention is to refer to the <strong>direction<\/strong> in which a subject or object moves, or to its orientation, if it is correct to use <em>under<\/em>, <em>above<\/em>, <em>go ahead<\/em> Y <em>behind<\/em> (<em>\"walk forward\"<\/em>, <em>\"Head down\"<\/em>).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"kk-star-ratings kksr-auto kksr-align-center kksr-valign-bottom\"\n    data-payload='{&quot;align&quot;:&quot;center&quot;,&quot;id&quot;:&quot;4190&quot;,&quot;slug&quot;:&quot;default&quot;,&quot;valign&quot;:&quot;bottom&quot;,&quot;ignore&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;reference&quot;:&quot;auto&quot;,&quot;class&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;count&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;legendonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;readonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;score&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;starsonly&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;best&quot;:&quot;5&quot;,&quot;gap&quot;:&quot;4&quot;,&quot;greet&quot;:&quot;Rate this post&quot;,&quot;legend&quot;:&quot;0\\\/5 - (0 votes)&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;24&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;under&quot;,&quot;width&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;_legend&quot;:&quot;{score}\\\/{best} - ({count} {votes})&quot;,&quot;font_factor&quot;:&quot;1.25&quot;}'>\n            \n<div class=\"kksr-stars\">\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-inactive\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"1\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"2\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"3\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"4\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" data-star=\"5\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    \n<div class=\"kksr-stars-active\" style=\"width: 0px;\">\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n            <div class=\"kksr-star\" style=\"padding-right: 4px\">\n            \n\n<div class=\"kksr-icon\" style=\"width: 24px; height: 24px;\"><\/div>\n        <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n                \n\n<div class=\"kksr-legend\" style=\"font-size: 19.2px;\">\n            <span class=\"kksr-muted\">Rate this post<\/span>\n    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Under it's a adverb very frequently used in our language.
