/an-DON/
FIL: Isang pang-abay na pamatlig na tumutukoy sa isang lugar na malapit sa taong kinakausap. Ito ay katumbas ng 'diyan'.
EN: there (near the person spoken to)
This is the less common, slightly more formal cousin of 'diyan'. It's like pointing at something near your friend and saying 'It's right **there** by you.' Think of it as the middle ground between 'dito' (here by me) and 'doon' (over yonder). Most people just say 'diyan' now, so using 'andon' gives you a slightly classic vibe.
Mula sa pinagsamang 'ang' at 'diyan', na naging 'andiyan' at pinaikli bilang 'andon'.
Madalas na ipinagpapalit sa 'diyan' sa modernong pananalita, ngunit mas karaniwan ang 'diyan'. Ang 'andon' ay maaaring maging mas pormal o pampanitikan.
