Greetings

oops, i read it as sunrise instead of sunshine. i actually had to look up sunrise because sol was the only sun-related word i knew :P

[citlalli]

Lol

[Tucumana88]

Well I guess you also could say "Un día sin ti es como un día sin el brillo del sol", 'cause sunshine can be translate also like brillo del sol.

I need to say (in a medical setting) "Please lie face down" and "Please turn over". My dictionary has 2 choices - acostarse and recostarse. Would you use either of those or somthing else?
Thanks!

[citlalli]

I'd use "recostarse" ("por favor recuestese boca abajo" and "por favor volteese")

yea, because when i use acostar, it's kinda like to lay down for bed

[xiurell]

We use to say "por favor póngase boca bajo" and "por favor dese la vuelta"
different accents, all are correct

Have a nice weekend

Preparo a acostarse would be "I prepare to put someone to bed" because the -se ending. That's the one thing i know for sure, there's probably something else but idk.
