Usage notes

 * For a squat object, ställa (as opposed to ) does not necessarily mean placing the object on its side, as the speaker might be thinking of the natural up ("upright") direction of the object. Similar ambiguity exists in English regarding which objects would be standing vs. lying on a table. For a plate being placed on a table, both ställa and lägga might be heard (with native speakers unlikely to notice that they use both). "Ställ den på sidan!" means "Put it on its side!", and "Ställ den upprätt (där)!" means "Put it upright (there)!", as clarifications.
 * often uses the past participle  ställd (to be lost for words).
 * Idiomatically, "to ask a question" is always "att ställa en fråga" rather than "att fråga en fråga."
