Re: [lojban-beginners] How to say "face down" or "facing"

[Sebastian Fröjd <so.cool.ogi@gmail.com>]

I'm not proficient enough in lojban to help you with this one. I just notice that in swedish you almost never say that you're lying face up or face down. Instead you say that you're "lying on [your] back" or "lying on [your] belly". Perhaps that's easier to express in lojban.

An example sentence is, "I lay down face down on the bed." (as opposed to "I lay down face up on the bed.")

{mi pinvre lo ckana fa'a ri} seems to be an incorrect translation, since {fa'a} refers to the direction of the event, not the orientation of the person.

Would {mi noi farna lo ckana ku pinvre ri} be better?
