Domande Frequenti

What's the real difference between 'abajo', 'debajo de', and 'bajo'?

It's a common point of confusion! Here's a simple way to think about it: 'Abajo' is a general location or direction ('down there', 'downstairs'). 'Debajo de' and 'bajo' both mean 'under' a specific thing and need an object after them ('under the table'). 'Debajo de' is more common in everyday speech, while 'bajo' can sound a bit more formal or literary, but they are often interchangeable.

Can I say 'ir para abajo'?

Yes, absolutely! 'Ir para abajo' or simply 'ir abajo' both mean 'to go down'. Adding 'para' can sometimes emphasize the direction or destination. Both are very common and sound natural.
