I was just wondering if "to get back up" (or getting back up) would not be more appropriate? It's just a suggestion, as it is not specifically implied in the Spanish version. But I think it is like the difference between "se lever" and "se relever"

Tantine | | | 7 March 2008 23:17 | | | I think the gerund would be better than the infinitive in both of these cases: falling and getting back up or getting back on one's feet. | | | 8 March 2008 00:34 | | | I agree with you Kafetzou
Thanks for your nice suggestion.
Do you want to edit Goncin?
Then I will validate.
