Talking to A Child

[dinilein]

Hello,

I am from Germany and I want to know the correct
English expression for the German "Bleib liegen!" etc. which is
sometimes necessary to tell a child.
Is "remain lain" correct or something with "stay" or "keep" ??

Thanks.

Probably "stand still" or "keep still."

Normally for "bleib liegen" you would say, "lie down" in English.

Normally for "bleib liegen" you would say, "lie down" in English.

bleib = stay, on the other hand stay down is used in rougher terms to tell someone to to move i.e. police versus criminal
leg Dich dich - lay down

Schick mir den Zusammenhang.
