♦ nearby /nɪəˈbaɪ/A avv.vicino; dappresso; qui presso; nelle vicinanze: My school is nearby, la mia scuola è qui vicinoB a. attr.vicino; attiguo: the nearby town, la città vicina.NOTA D'USO: - nearby e near here- -
2 -nearby e near here-
Nota d'usoNon è corretto tradurre letteralmente l'espressione “nelle vicinanze” con in the nearby. Nearby è usato come avverbio o aggettivo e quindi va usato da solo (senza preposizioni), o accompagnato a un sostantivo: My school is nearby, la mia scuola è nelle vicinanze (non My school is in the nearby); in a nearby street, in una strada qui vicino. In alternativa, si può utilizzare la locuzione near here, qui vicino: The main square is near here, la piazza principale è qui vicino. -
