adjacent vs. adjacent to - WordReference Forums
Adjacent is falling out of fashion, and 'next to' or (for emphasis) 'right next to' would be used. 'Right' in this usage means immediately or absolutely next to. In the example quoted, which sounds like a user manual, I would prefer to be more precise and say 'the function is labelled above the button' (or below, left, right, or wherever)

adjacent cells - WordReference Forums
So "adjacent houses" actually means "properties that touch each other": the two properties share a side, not just a corner (vertex). The opposite: between the two houses there is an area of land (a garden?) owned by someone else.

Adjacent (to) + noun - WordReference Forums
The text is from an archaeology paper: Adjacent the site and to the east is a historical farmhouse. I was wondering whether this is a normal collocation or whether 'to' is missing after 'adjacent'. What do you think?

"next to" vs. "near" vs. "close to" vs. "beside" | WordReference Forums
"Beside" and "next to" indicate that the object is directly adjacent to the subject, eg 'my phone is beside me', 'he lives next to me'. However, "near" and "close to" does not indicate this, and merely shows that it is not far away. I might say that I leave "near" or "close to" my friend who lives at the other end of the street, but I wouldn't say I lived "next to" him.

clarification on usage of across and beside - WordReference Forums

In the case of a street, if they are side by side, they must be on the same side of the street, and there must be nothing, except perhaps a small gap, between them. In other words, the buildings are adjacent. On the other hand, if they are across the street from each other, then their ...

The neighbor to my left/right/front/back - WordReference Forums
Thank you dojibear. By “adjacent to your house” do you mean the two houses are sharing a same wall? If so, if your house is a single family house that doesn’t have a shared wall with any neighbors, also you say “left/right” isn’t the right word for a house, so how would you say this when neighbors live on the each direction of your house? Also, one more thing I want to make sure ...
