About 側(そば), 側(がわ), and 隣(となり), as "next to"

I commented on a question on Hinative.com, like the following. Please let me know if you found anything on it.

─ question ──
> ‎そば(側) と かわ(側) と 隣り はどう違いますか?
説明が難しい場合は、例文を教えてください。https://hinative.com/en-US/questions/18239260
── ──

そば(soba) mainly shows like "close to," "near by."
 ex.) あなた の そば に か が います(あなたのそばに蚊がいます)
   └ = A mosquito is flying there, close to you.

With がわ(gawa), I can feel something opposite to it, or some border of a group including it.
 ex.) かいだん の みぎ がわ を あるいて ください(階段の右側をあるいてください)
   └ = Please walk on the right side of the steps. (not on the left side <- opposite [ right vs left ] )

となり(tonari) usually means like mixed "next to" with "aside of."
 ex.) あなた の となり は あいて いますか?(あなたの隣は空いていますか?)
   └ = Is the seat next to your right/left taken?

another::

つぎ(次/Tsughi) means "next," especially in a list, so it is sometimes used as "next to" as well.
 ex.) テニス の つぎ に サッカー が 好きです。(テニスの次にサッカーが好きです)
   └ = Next to tennis, I like playing soccer best. {1st: tennis; 2nd: soccer}
 ex.) わたし は かれ の つぎ です。(私が彼の次です)
   └ = I'm the next from him. { …; he; me; …}


そば(soba) は主に、"close to" とか "near by" のような「近い」の印象があります。

 ex.) あなた の そば に か が います(あなたのそばに蚊がいます)
   └ = A mosquito is flying there, close to you.
 ( あなたの近くを蚊が飛んでますよ )


がわ(gawa) を使う時は、私は何か相対する(あい たいする)モノや、それの属するグループの境界線を感じと思います。
 ex.) かいだん の みぎ がわ を あるいて ください(階段の右側をあるいてください)
   └ = Please walk on the right side of the steps. (not on the left side <- opposite [ right vs left ] )
  ( 階段の右側を歩いてください(左側ではない / 左側とは、右側に対して反対側 )


となり(tonari) は、"next to"(〜のつぎ) と "aside of"(〜のわき) とを混ぜたような感じです。

 ex.) あなた の となり は あいて いますか?(あなたの隣は空いていますか?)
   └ = Is the seat next to your right/left taken?
 ( あなたの 右の次の/左の次の の席は、誰かが使用していますか? ≒ 右隣/左隣 の席は 空いていますか? )


ほかには::

つぎ(次/Tsughi) は、特にリストの中などで、"next" を意味するので、この言葉も "next to" の感じで使われる事があると思います。

 ex.) テニス の つぎ に サッカー が 好きです。(テニスの次にサッカーが好きです)
   └ = Next to tennis, I like playing soccer best. {1st: tennis; 2nd: soccer}

 ex.) わたし は かれ の つぎ です。(私が彼の次です)
   └ = I'm the next from him. { …; he; me; …}

AboutUsing 側(そば), 側(がわ), and 隣(となり), a As "nNext to".

In English, the first letter of all nouns, verbs, adverbs, adjetives, etc., are capitalized in the title.

I commented the following as a response ton a question on Hinative.com, like the following.

"Like" implies similar but not exactly the same.

Please let me know if you fouind anything oin it.

"Found" is past tense.

qQuestion ──

I don't know why, but it feels more natural for me to capitalize this.

そば (soba) mainly shows likeup as "close to," or "near by".

The other quotation mark (") comes before the period.

"

eEx.)

あなた の そば に か が います(あなたのそばに蚊がいます)

└ = A mosquito is flying there, close to you.

I don't know what the first part is.

With がわ (gawa), I can feelit's something opposite to it, or somthe border of asome group including it.

eEx.)

かいだん の みぎ がわ を あるいて ください(階段の右側をあるいてください)

└ = Please walk on the right side of the steps.

(nNot on the left side <-= opposite [ right vs left ] )

となり(tonari) is usually means like mixedsomething between "next to" with "aand "to a side of".

I felt like "between" was clearer than "a mix" after reading through the examples.

"

eEx.)

あなた の となり は あいて いますか?(あなたの隣は空いていますか?)

└ = Is the seat next to your right/left taken?

There's also another: word:

つぎ(次/Tsughi) means "next,", especially inwhen referring to a list, so it is sometimes used as "next to" as well.

"It is" is often said/written as "It's".

eEx.)

└ = Next toOther than tennis, I like playing soccer best.

I feel like "Other than" is more appropriate here.

{1st: tennis; 2nd: soccer}

eEx.)

わたし は かれ の つぎ です。(私が彼の次です)

└ = I'm the next fromafter him.

{ …; he; me; …}
