"I stand in house and see the man."
"I see the man and he stands in the house."
It is Cool and it makes it get rid of subclauses ;-)
Another lang would say "I see the man from the house" vs. "I see the man who
is in the house" vs. "I see the man in the house" (but then both he and I
are in the house).
