1. there, yonder

   Synonym: da

• Dort is seldom ever heard in non-formal speech in some regions of Germany, chiefly the west and north.[1] In these regions, 'da' is considered a synonym and overall more frequent. Dort is, however, quite common in eastern Germany, southern Germany, and Austria, where 'da' and dort are considered antonyms, the former referring to the position of the speaker (akin to here, cf. 'hier', which in these regions is considered a synonym of 'da') and the latter referring to a position away from the speaker (akin to there).
• In literary German, dort is usual in all regions.
