Usage Note
Yacer is a literary or formal verb meaning to lie (be in a lying position, especially of the dead). It appears on tombstone inscriptions: Aquí yace (Here lies). In everyday speech, estar tumbado or estar acostado are used instead. Yacer is irregular: the first-person singular present is yazco (or yago/yazgo).
Examples
"El héroe yace enterrado en esta colina."
Natural Translation
The hero lies buried on this hill.
