Usage of y ou là

Federica G.Kwiziq community member

Hi - thanks for this great website. I have a question regarding y and 'la\la-bas'. I am not sure whether they can be used interchangeably? For example we could both say J'y vais ou je vais là and, if so, does it keep the same meaning? Thank you!

This question relates to:French lesson "Y = There (French Adverbial Pronouns)"

Normally, you will use Y when you know exactly which place it refers to.

Bonne Continuation!
