Russan Verbs of Motion | Russian Language

[myrnalopez]

You've become a blessing to us russian learners

[vaguelyvagrant]

I wish there existed someone like you for every language that someone wanted to learn. You're practical approach (e.g. think of these as separate verbs) is so useful for someone learning the language and breaks with the traditional explanation that often comes in textbooks and ends up being more theoretical and overly 'linguisitc' than useful for actual communication. I wants to find one of you who can teach me Polish :-)

They're called multidirectional because there are two occasions of using them:
1. Round trips (going and coming back, so there are two directions)
Я хожу в магазин по утрам
Я езжу на работу каждый день

2. Wandering around without any particular direction or a final destination (so multiple directions can take place)
Я два часа ходил по лесу / I was walking (wandering) in the forest for two hours
Я весь день ездил по Москве / I was wandering in Moscow all the day long

Я совсем почти не хожу в кино, но сегодня иду.
I hardly go to the cinema at all, but today I’m going.

Thank you so much!! The directional/multiple direction concept that confuses everyone, now everything is much more clear

[LisaLiel]

Thank you!!! This is so much more helpful than unidirectional and multidirectional.

Sheeeeweee boy. My knees were a knockin’ these last few weeks getting closer to the lesson in my program on verbs of motion. It’s reputation preceded it, and after I read the chapter I was right where I expected to be. This video made it plain as white bread in 5 minutes flat. Спасибо большое!!

Very good explanation! I was so confused by "multi directional" on other websites, like you mentioned. It sounded like it meant going there and back. Your explanation instantly made sense. And you used simple example sentences that showed the differences well. Thank you!

[nimmira]

gosh should have seen this video centuries ago .... these terminologies were really deceiving in describing the verbs. Now it's all clear! Спасибо

[РеспубликаЧикиБрики]

Большое Спасибо! I have been confused with this from the day I started learning.

[nope]

THANK YOU! I could not understand the "multidirectional" thing that websites kept saying so I'm glad you explain it differently it makes so much more sense now.
