English term or phrase: To sit in front of the fire.
Hello / Barev

How would one say "to sit in front of the fire" in Armenian? An example in English might be "King Aruthur SAT warming himself IN FRONT OF THE FIRE."

This is a little tricky in English because you could also say "at the fire / by the fire/ beside the fire or near the fire." They all mean pretty much the same thing. I don't know if Armenian can say it just as many ways or not.

Thank you very much for any help. I appreciate all answers that are posted.

Sincerely,
