What does the idiom over yonder mean?

"Over yonder" is an idiom that means "over there," referring to a place that is visible but at a distance.

It's often used in a poetic or informal way, suggesting a sense of remoteness or mystery.

For example:

* "I saw a strange light over yonder, shining through the trees."

* "Let's go over yonder to the meadow and have a picnic."

The term "yonder" itself is a bit archaic, and you're more likely to hear it used in literature or folk tales than in everyday speech.
