Słowa "under" i "underneath" w języku angielskim (UK) mają podobne znaczenie, ale różnią się nieco w użyciu.
"Under" jest bardziej ogólnym słowem i oznacza położenie poniżej lub wewnątrz czegoś. Może być używane zarówno w kontekście dosłownym, jak i abstrakcyjnym. Na przykład:
- The cat is under the table. (Kot jest pod stołem.)
- She is under a lot of stress at work. (Ona jest pod dużym stresem w pracy.)
"Underneath" jest bardziej specyficznym słowem i zazwyczaj odnosi się do czegoś, co znajduje się bezpośrednio pod czymś innym. Może sugerować bardziej konkretną lokalizację niż "under". Na przykład:
- The keys are underneath the newspaper. (Klucze są pod gazetą.)
- The treasure was buried underneath the old oak tree. (Skarb został zakopany pod starym dębem.)
Podsumowując, "under" jest bardziej ogólnym terminem, który może odnosić się do różnych sytuacji, podczas gdy "underneath" jest bardziej precyzyjne i często używane, gdy chcemy wskazać na coś znajdującego się bezpośrednio pod czymś innym.

Under and underneath mean the same when referring to the position or the whereabouts of something. They can be used interchangeably: the presents under the Christmas tree/the presents underneath the Christmas tree. Beneath means the same thing but is a bit more formal.
Under can be used in other contexts whereas underneath always refers to physical position.
