влезе / излезе / помине
Motion Verbs with Prefixes
The prefix shows the direction: влезе (go in), излезе (go out), помине (go past), премине (go across), дојде (come). Влезе во собата. (He came into the room.)
How It Works
Direction by prefix.
- в-, in: влезе (go in, enter)
- из-, out: излезе (go out, exit). Влезе and излезе share the same root, -лезе.
- по-, past or through: помине (pass by, go through)
- пре-, across: премине (cross)
- до-, arriving: дојде (come)
Aspect pairs. All of these are perfective. Their imperfectives add -ува or change the stem: влезе → влегува, излезе → излегува, помине → поминува, премине → преминува, дојде → доаѓа. Notice the г in влегува and излегува. See aspect pairs with suffixes and coming and going.
Which one to use. Use the perfective for one finished movement: Излегов од продавницата. Use the imperfective for habits and for something in progress: Секое утро излегувам во седум. A perfective present cannot stand alone; it needs a word such as да, ќе or ако before it. See perfective verbs after да, ќе and ако.
Forms to watch. The past forms of влезе and излезе have г: влегов, излегов, влегол. The commands are влези and излези.
Prepositions. влезе во (into), излезе од (out of), помине покрај (past), помине низ (through), премине преку (across). See низ, преку and кон.
