    Post Turn On backside

    When an object is "turned on the backside", does it mean its frontside or backside is facing the speaker?

    Default Re: Turn On backside

    Welcome to the forum sesod.

    'Turn on the backside' is not natural English. We normally turn things over if we want to see the other side.
    Tdol, bhaisahab and anhnha like this.
    Context is important. Please provide enough for us to be able to deal effectively with your question.
    Your thread title should include all or part of the word/phrase being discussed.
    If you just want to know the meaning of a word, try OneLook Dictionary Search first.
