To relax or take a break
- 1After a long day, I just want to sit down and watch TV.
- 2Why don't you sit down and rest for a while?
When you stop standing and put your body on a chair or the ground, you rest your legs. This helps your body feel less tired. You can do this when you want to pause, feel comfortable, or stop working for a short time.
At work or school, people often say "Let's sit down and talk" when they want to have a relaxed conversation or meeting instead of standing or rushing.
