How to Say “Go Over There” in Russian

иди туда
The English phrase 'go over there' is translated into Russian as иди туда.

How does it change in a sentence?

When addressing more than one person, or when being polite/formal to a single person, use the form идите туда instead of иди туда.

Did you know?

  • While иди туда means 'go over there', Russians often use the word туда as a euphemism for the cemetery or the afterlife in dark humor.
  • In Russian, the verb иди is specifically for walking on foot. If you were telling someone to 'go over there' by car or bus, you would use the verb езжай instead.
  • The word туда is strictly directional, meaning it describes movement toward a goal, whereas the word там describes a static location.

Examples in context

  • Возьми это и иди туда.
