Usage notes
[edit]This verb is used for heavy or solid objects that make a sound when touching the ground. For instance, miecz upadł na ziemię is correct, but for light objects such as feathers or leaves, the verbs spaść or opaść would be used instead: Pióro spadło na ziemę and Liście opadły na ziemię.
