adverbs

l / l there "l" is a little bit nearer to the speaker than "l". Perhaps la is 'over there' "La donna l e l'uomo l." OR "La donna l e l'uomo l." In English, you'd probably also distinguish between the two uses of "there": "The woman is there and the man is over there." a native ... says there is no difference, but you'd use whichever sounds better (kind of like tra and fra).
Here's a good explanation from f. formica about qui / qua and l / la https://www.duolingo.com/comment /207660

dove where lest whereas

NOTE: do not conjugate any adverb unless it is not functioning as an adverb but rather as a preposition that is modifying a noun

com' how com' = how is

Lesson 1

molto very many a lot of


Think of it this way. When "molto" is meaning "very" in a certain situation (making it an adverb), it does not change. However when "molto" is meaning "many" (making it an adjective), it MUST agree with the noun. I hope that makes sense! :)

Grammatically, it's like this:

tanto many a lot of much

Qui: exactly here where I am Qua: in my proximity Cost: exactly where you are Cost: in your proximity L: exactly over there L: around there

poco little not much a little of

The distinction is matched by the adjectives/pronouns Questo (close to me) / Codesto (close to you) / Quello (far from both of us). Outside of books and a part of Tuscany, though, people only use qui/qua (here) and l/l (there) with no real difference; same goes for questo (this) and quello (that).
