How it's used
Focuses specifically on relative position rather than just a static location. It implies a vertical relationship where the speaker is looking down from their current vantage point. It is frequently used when discussing neighbors in high rise buildings or shops located on a lower level of a shopping mall.
Examples
The shop downstairs has great deals.

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 下面, which is a more general term for underneath or below. 對落 carries a stronger sense of being one level down in a sequence or structure.
