Thread: Ходят или Идут

I think generally people say

Автобусы не ходят.

В случие односторонного движения, все равно "не ходят" или
будет "не идут"?

Ходить

Идти

One-way or two-way movement doesn't affect the choice of verb.

I think, "ходят" is used when speaking in general or to emphasize a regularity (a repetitive action). "Идти" is often used when speaking about a particular case or to emphasize a direction.
I must think about it, though, to tell for sure.

Here are some examples:

Автобусы ходят строго по расписанию.
Сегодня автобусы не ходят - в депо забастовка.
Автобусы ходят с шести утра до одиннадцати вечера.
Автобусы ходят часто.

От моего дома до школы автобус идет 15 минут.
Посмотри, не идет ли автобус? (people are waiting for the bus)
Подскажите, этот автобус идет до .... ?
Нам повезло, автобус пришел сразу.

Thank you very much for your explanation.

How about the following positive sentences?

( Опять в случие односторонного движения )
Автобусы часто ходят по этой улице.
или
Автобусы часто идут по этой улице.

Your first sentence is fine, but the second one sounds a bit silly.

Think of the идти category as verbs that describe movement 1) in one direction, 2) one time. Then use the ходить category of verbs everywhere else.

Пока - сейчас иду спать.

Хорошо спали? Я попоже поиду спать. ( I will start to go to my bed room strictly in one direction in accordance with поиду!! )

Then, in case of one way street, автобусы идут?
I hear this sounds strange.....

I hear this sounds strange.....

1. Just remember the following phonetical nuance with иду (идёшь, идёт etc):
иду - пойду, выйду, зайду, уйду etc. but приду.

2. There is nothing to do with one-way or two-way street.

автобусы идут means "they are moving now, at the given moment":

Утро. Люди торопятся на работу. По улице идут автобусы.

(It can be one-way or two-way street - no matter)

автобусы ходят means "they go regularly, from time to time, by a schedule etc":

По этой улице автобусы ходят редко. Buses rarely go along this street.
Автобусы до N (place name) ходят каждые два часа. Buses to N go every two hours.

3. I think I have to clarify the concept of "one direction, one time" regarding to идти.

Yes, it is a correct approach, but have in mind how to apply it.

When talking about a SINGLE subject, it's very easy:

человек идёт - one direction, present moment

человек ходит -
either many directions (он ходит туда-сюда, он ходит из угла в угол etc.) - at the given time but constantly changing its direction, without a single goal.
or regularly, many times (он каждый день ходит в магазин)

But when talking about MULTIPLE subjects, it is not necessarily true that ALL the objects should follow the same direction (probably, that is why you asked about ONE-WAY STREET).

No. If each of the subjects IS GOING in a single direction at the given moment, that's enough to allow us using идти.

Люди идут на работу. - That does not necessarily imply all of them going to the SAME PLACE. It rather means each of them (separately) is going to a definite place at the given moment.

How long have you studied Japanese? I've studied it for six years, but my Japanese is terrible. Therefore, I'm studying Russian. Considerably easier language, I must say.

Ребята, честное слово, не хочу обидеть, но шли бы вы с японским в таких количества в другую ветку...

В противном случае давайте подстрочник.
