If you want to label a switch On and Off, then En kaj El
But what would you put on a lift button for Up and Down if space were limited.

Down - Falu

Why use words when symbols can present the information more concisely?

Kirilo81:sor - sobNot everybody knows these words...
Alkanadi:Down - DeiruYou can "deiri" from somewhere even if you are going up...

sudanglo:If you want to put something on a door to indicate that it opens outwards or inwards, then you can do this economically with Tiru or Puŝu.In Russian, doors will say на себя (al vi) and от себя (de vi).
But what would you put on a lift button for Up and Down if space were limited.My first reaction: supren - teren or supren - suben.

Tempodivalse:supren - subenAgreed. I actually thought to it too but it seems a little too long according to the limited-space condition.

Tempodivalse:Once again I am impressed by how differently two languages express a very basic concept.sudanglo:If you want to put something on a door to indicate that it opens outwards or inwards, then you can do this economically with Tiru or Puŝu.In Russian, doors will say на себя (al vi) and от себя (de vi).
In English you describe the action you have to take to open the door, while in Russian you describe in which direction the door will move.

Simon_Gauvain:super - subMy vote would be "sup" and "sub" if we are restricted to 3-4 letter descriptions, but the arrows seem more appropriate for me. Any elevator I've ever seen has two buttons with arrows, and may sometimes have text printed next to them. Sometimes the best solution is the answer to the question you didn't ask.

If I read "suben" at a lift I'd be afraid that pushing it would get me pulled below it...
