What is the difference between lÀhellÀ and vierellÀ and vieressÀ ?Feel free to just provide example sentences.
Used as postpositions. Is it a difference about "how close" is someone or something? I would say that lÀhellÀ would be the farthest while vieressÀ the closest, but I'm not sure.

- English (UK) Near fluent
lÀhellÀ = near
vierellÀ / vieressÀ = next to
"vieressÀ" is used when something is situated next to you
"vierellÀ" is often used when something/someone is situated next to you and moving to the same direction as you ("kulkea vierellÀ")
So yeah, "lÀhellÀ" is a general word for "near" while "vieressÀ" is always quite close. :)

One addition:
"vierellÀ" is also used with "abstract movement" like time:
"HÀn pysyi vierellÀni kaikki nÀmÀ vuodet"
= She/he stayed by my side for all these years
