Hi, 

I understand that "dort" and "da" can be used to express "there".
However, in which situations should they be used?

Best,
Rex

Hallo Rex,

That's right: da and dort can both mean "there."

These words are mostly interchangeable, but not always. The main difference is that dort is used to refer to a specific location, while da is a bit more general, and can be used to refer to either location or time.

I hope that this was helpful!

Tschüss!
