vicino

/vi't∫ino/

Per scegliere il corretto equivalente inglese dell'italiano vicino tra near, nearby, close, next to, beside, by, around, neighbouring, neighbour ecc., bisogna prima stabilire se vicino è usato come aggettivo, avverbio, nella locuzione prepositiva vicino a oppure come sostantivo, e se dal punto di vista semantico si riferisce allo spazio, al tempo o ad altro, e se è inteso in senso proprio o figurato. La struttura della voce qui sotto e gli esempi aiuteranno nella scelta. - Si noti in particolare l'uso di close e near: quando questi aggettivi si riferiscono a una vicinanza nello spazio compaiono solo nella locuzione preposizionale vicino a ( il mio ufficio è vicino alla chiesa = my office is close to / near the church) o in funzione predicativa ( il mio ufficio è molto vicino = my office is quite near / close), mentre in funzione attributiva davanti a un nome si deve usare nearby ( il vicino ristorante = the nearby restaurant) o la forma al superlativo the nearest ( il ristorante più vicino = the nearest restaurant).

3 (simile) [idee, risultati, valori, significati] similar

4 (sul piano affettivo) [ persona] close (a to)
