有没有区别 --> 那里， 那儿， 那边
在那里 = over there在那儿 = over there
在那边 = over there; on the other side
I would like to know if these three words differ in meaning or are they interchangeable, because from what I mostly heard especially 那里 and 那儿 are just simply regional/dialect differences, is that correct?:).
Do you want to go over there? 你想要去在那里？
Do you want to go over there? 你想要去在那儿？
Do you want to go overthere? 你想要去在那边？
I appreciate all responses and corrections :D
那儿、那里 are the same , but 那儿 is used more often.
I looked up the dictionary, there are two meanings:
1. Used with 这儿、这里 (here), mean the place far from the person:
Example: 那儿／那里／那边没有人。There is no one there.
他这儿瞧瞧， 那儿望望。He looks at everywhere. (Literally: He looks at here and there.)
2. mean the indicated places ( Sometimes with the gesture ):
Example: 警察局在那儿/那里／那边吗？Is the Police Station over there?
那边 literally means the other side; over there; there ( the person／object is not here):
Example: 山的那边是海。On the other side of the mountain is sea. ！！！In this case you cannot exchange the 那边 for the other 2 words, it means the other side.
Also, people from the south of China don't like 这儿 , because the 儿 is hard to pronounce for most of them. They often say 那里，那边, but you can say them all to express "there".

客观上讲，这三个词没有任何区别，你怎样翻译都可以，但是从说话人的主观态度上讲，这三个词略有区别：对同一个地方，说话人说“那里”表明他感觉那个地方有一定的面积，“那儿”表明他不关心那个地方的面积，“那边”表明说话人感觉那个地方与这个地方之间有一段间隔。
在那里 over there / where there be / there
1.请问警察局在哪里？ can you tell me where is the police station?
就在那里/那边/那儿。it's right over there.
2.从前有一座森林，在那里，居住着一位法力高强的女巫。 Once upon a time there is a forest, where there lives a powerful witch.
3. 你确定你要去那里？ are you sure that u want to go there?
在那边 over there
在那儿 over there ( oral speaking , specially Beijing tone)
