Your sentence was not added because the following already exists.
I slept lying on my face.
"I lay on my belly" or "I lay on my front" sound more natural to me, but this may be a regional difference.
I lay face down.
If no one opposes to it, I can adopt it and change it to that
Yes, I think "I lay face down" works well. Thanks!
@Pfirsichbaeumchen Would it be OK if I adopted this and changed it to "I lay face down"? Would too many sentences have to be unlinked?
The translations except the Turkish actually say, "I was lying on my stomach." Would that not be an option?
I have no idea
For now I added the sentence separately: #9594108
@CK What should I do about this?
This isn't a sentence that I'd use, so I didn't adopt it.
However, it's OK, so by our guidelines, it should not be changed.
