意思
Indicates a position lower than something else.
文化背景
The 'voisin d'en dessous' is a staple of French comedy, representing the person who suffers from your late-night parties. In many old French houses, the 'sous-sol' (basement) is referred to as being 'en dessous', often used for wine storage. A 'regard en dessous' is considered impolite or suspicious in French culture, as it implies you are hiding your true intentions.
The 'De' Rule
Always remember: En dessous + DE + Noun. Without the 'de', it's just an adverb.
Don't say 'En dessous la...'
This is the most common mistake for English speakers. It sounds very broken to a native ear.
