andernorts vs hier

here

'hier' and 'andernorts' are opposites when it comes to place. 'hier' means the place where the speaker is or the place they are currently pointing to. 'andernorts' means in another place, so not here. 'hier' is very normal in everyday language. 'andernorts' sounds more formal or written, for example in reports or factual texts. In conversation, people often use the simpler 'woanders'.
