Did you know?
- In Ukrainian, the verb йти from which йду is derived can also be used to describe the movement of time or the way a piece of clothing fits.
- While йду implies movement toward a destination, if you are traveling by vehicle, you must switch to їду, as using the version for walking would sound like you are approaching on foot.
- If you are 'coming' in the sense of a season arriving, such as spring, Ukrainian uses йде, the third person form of the same verb used in йду.
