FIL: Isang panghalip na tumutukoy sa isang lugar na malapit sa taong kausap, o sa isang bagay na hawak o malapit sa kanya.
EN: there (near the listener)
The middle child of Filipino location words. It's not 'dito' (right here with me) and not 'doon' (way over there). It's 'diyan'—right there, near you. Perfect for when you're telling your friend, "Pakikuha nga 'yan diyan sa tabi mo." It's the ultimate "you're closer to it, you get it" word.
Pinagsamang 'di' (variant ng 'sa') at 'iyan'.
'Diyan' is for things/places near the person you're talking to. 'Dito' is near the speaker. 'Doon' is far from both.
