Hi hi

Well , you can change the verb i guess " go">> "head" .
Mention the place instead of saying there .. so you just change the verb ,some words I always do it ..:)

I think it means "i will go there" or should it be "i will go over there"?

Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot.
You are right, "I'll go there" is a contraction of "I will go there." If you want to add "over," it is OK, but not necessary.

So is "over" always unecessary in "over there"?

When you consider the definition of over to be across a distance and the definition of there to be a location at a distance from here (this location), you can see that there is a redundancy in the sentence “I’ll go over there.” However, “over there” is a very common expression which puts the (subtle) focus on the travel from here to there, while “there” puts the focus on the arrival there. I can’t say that over is always redundant. Dictionaries list many other ways to use the word. One example:
The bridge is washed out; you can’t go over (i.e. to the other side) there (i.e. at that location).
PS: You certainly make us think about the subtleties of our language, Bridget.

"Over" brings to mind a spatial transfer above something in between, which something is explicit or not.

Hello,

But can we say " Let me get (over) there" instead of "I'll go there"? Or, are these sentences in quote have the same meaning?

Thanks a lot.

"Let me" is asking for permission, or making a suggestion. "I'll go" is a statement of determination. You can insert "over" in both.

Thank you Mr. Rusty.

But we can't say "Let me come over there". Am i right?

Wasn't it an American who wrote:


Over There, Over There
Send the word, send the word,
Over There
That the Yanks are coming,
The Yanks are coming,
The drums rum tumming everywhere
So prepare,
Say a Prayer
Send the word,
Send the word to beware
We'll be over, we're coming over.
And we won't be back till it's over over there!

;)

Not a redundant over, up there, if you ask me.
