Quoting bod:
If I said to a person "mltm, aşağı in!" and that person was upstairs sitting on the bed - how would they know whether I was asking them to get off the bed or go downstairs? |
But in this condition, you would say "mltm, yataktan kalk" (mltm, get up from the bed (I hope I am right)) or "mltm, yataktan çık" (mltm, get out of the bed)
as I said, it's used for dogs because they're lower than the bed, and bed is high for them.

no, infact as I said, they're both the same, only when you say "in aşağı" you put more emphasis on the act of "inmek" while you put more emphasis on the direction "aşağı" when you say "aşağı in".

Ah right......
We are getting into confusion here because I am talking to a dog! You are treating the conversation as that of human to dog whereas I am personifying the dog for the purposes of learning the language.

IF YOU ARE IN THE SAME ROOM WITH THE OTHER PERSON - EYE CONTACT
If you tell a person on the bed "aşağı in" he/she will take the first "down" and get down from the bed.
To get him/her to go downstairs you will have to be more specific. "go downstairs" will do.
IF YOU ARE NOT İN THE SAME ROOM - NO EYE CONTACT
If you are downstairs yourself, and calling up to someone upstairs "aşagı in". It does not matter if he/she already happens to be on anything. He/she will come straight to downstairs.
