In English you can use the verb to go<\/strong> to indicate any kind of travel – it doesn’t matter if you’re going on foot, by bicycle, car, bus, train, boat or plane. There are other verbs you can use: walk, stroll, hike, cycle, drive, travel, sail, fly, etc, but you can also just use go.<\/p>\n In some other languages the verbs you use for motion depend on how you are going. In German, for example, gehen<\/strong> is used when you go by foot, and fahren<\/strong> is used when you use some form transport, such as a car, train, bus or bicycle.<\/p>\n Other German words for motion include:<\/p>\n – reisen = to travel The German word fahren<\/strong> comes from the Old High German faran<\/em> (to proceed, go, travel), from Proto-Germanic *faran\u0105<\/em> (to go, travel), from the Proto-Indo-European *per-<\/em> \u200e(going, passage), which is also the root of the English words fare<\/strong> and ferry<\/strong>, and related words in other Germanic languages.<\/p>\n In Russian you have to think not only about how you are going, but also whether you’re coming back or not. There are two main verbs for to go, each of which has several aspects:<\/p>\n – \u0445\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442\u044c\/\u0438\u0434\u0442\u0438<\/strong> (\u043f\u043e\u0439\u0442\u0438<\/strong> perf<\/em>) = to go (on foot), to move; to wear (smth); to go (to), attend, visit; to run (trains, ships); to work, run (clocks); to lead, play, move (in games); to tend, take care of, nurse.<\/p>\n – \u0435\u0437\u0434\u0438\u0442\u044c\/\u0435\u0445\u0430\u0442\u044c<\/strong> (\u043f\u043e\u0435\u0445\u0430\u0442\u044c<\/strong> perf<\/em>) = to go (by horse or vehicle), to ride, to drive; to come; to visit; to travel<\/p>\n \u0425\u043e\u0434\u0438\u0442\u044c<\/strong> and \u0435\u0437\u0434\u0438\u0442\u044c<\/strong> are the indeterminative imperfective aspects.
