there over there
Hello everybody , what is difference between 'I am there , I am over there'? Does meaning change? Which is more natural?
Top answer
Usually "over there" means within sight. "There" could be anywhere. Neither is natural, because they don't really make sense.

The only situation where one would say "I'm there!" is a slangy way to say "I'll be going there."

So you mean the person who says 'over there' , can be seen by me but a person who says 'there' may not be seen also can be anywhere. Right? and I didn't get what you meant by saying the last sentence. :/
