In the phrase この人は土に立つです can に be replaced with で to say この人は土で立つです ? Its still the same meaning… - Feed Post by Elliesuarus

  "立つです" itself is incorrect. You don't use です after verbs, but use ます instead. Maybe you meant 立ちます?
  
  It might be possible to use で if you mean something a bit different to 土に立つ, but the meaning definitely isn't the same if you use で particle instead of に. I'm not even totally sure it would make sense using で, but I've gotta log off and go to work. ^^;

  if I may ask, what does 「士に立っ」mean? there is no such expression in my JED dictionary.

  It wd be more correct to say:
  この人は土上（つちじょう）に立ちます（formal) /立ちなの/立ちで/立ちね（informal)
