under
'unter' and 'darunter' can both mean a position lower than something else. They can also express that someone or something is part of a group or is below a limit. The most important difference is grammar: 'unter' is a preposition and comes before a noun, for example 'unter dem Tisch' (under the table) or 'unter den Gästen' (among the guests). 'darunter' is an adverb and usually refers to something that has already been mentioned. Learners easily confuse the words because they sound similar and cover similar areas. In practice: if a noun comes after it, 'unter' usually fits. If you are referring back to something mentioned before, 'darunter' often fits.
