Tip it over
If I tip something over, do I necessary make it fall to the ground?
Can I say:
1) I tipped the chair over and looked under it.
2) I tipped the chair over a little and looked under it.
If I just tilted it?
Gratefully,
Navi

Also, you might tip over a glass of water at a meal, and even though the water spills all over the table, the glass does not have to fall to the ground to qualify the action as "tipping something over".
