Fall Down the Stairs
I am pretty sure I have heard Mexicans say:
Me caà de las escaleras and not Me caà por las escaleras I would appreciate someone verifying what is said in Mexico. Also, which, if any, would a Mexican say: Me caà de tres tramos de escaleras Me caà tres tramos de escaleras Me caà por tres tramos de escaleras |

You're right, that's what we say. It's just usage I had never thought about. Maybe we just think about the fact that we roll down while the stairs stay in place.
We also say: "Me caà en la(s) escalera(s)" I don't know how we would emphasize how long the fall was, but maybe some explanation after saying you fell from the stairs. For example: - Me caà de/en/por las escaleras. Me fuà tres tramos para abajo. - ... Me llevé/resbalé tres tramos. Your last two proposals aren't wrong, and they would be understood in context. However, if you say "me caà de tres tramos de escaleras", it could be understood as if you didn't roll down the stairs, but you fell off the stairs from that height. Now, I hope you didn't fall, but if you did, are you alright?

Thanks for the explanations, AngelicadeAlquezar.
Thanks for the concern, but I didn't actually fall down the stairs. |
