"He falls down."

Translation: Ele cai.

[JCMcGee]

How would you literally say "He falls down"?

"Ele cai ???"

[Paulenrique]

Yes! If one falls, surely it is down... in Portuguese you cant use two obvious words together: cair para baixo, subir para cima, desfecho final, elo de ligação, etc...

[KemotS]

Does "pra baixo" mean the same what "para baixo"? Is "pra" some abbreviation?

[shanigruman]

why not "ele cai para baixo"? To me it seems like a valid translation of "he falls down"..

[Paulenrique]

Just see my answer above ;)

[lesliegirl]

What about, "Ele se cai." ? That wasn't accepted.

[Paulenrique]

This verb is not reflexive since he does not fall on himself.
