I.down¹ [Brit daʊn, Am daʊn] ADV Down often occurs as the second element in verb combinations in English (go down fall down get down keep down put down etc). For translations, consult the appropriate verb entry (fall, get, keep, put etc.). - When used after such verbs as sit or lie down implies the action being done. Compare the following examples and their translations: she is sitting = lei siede/è seduta; she is sitting down = lei si siede/si sta sedendo. - When used to indicate vague direction, down often has no explicit translation in Italian: to go down to London = andare a Londra down in Brighton = a Brighton. - For examples and further usages, see this entry.
