Thread: летать и лететь

Based on the concept of uniderectional and multidirectional I have constructed the following examples. I hope they are correct:

1. Multidirectional: Я летаю часто
2. Unidirectional: Я лечу в Россию часто.
3. Multidirectional: Только птицы могут летать.
4. Unidirectional: Он летит в 10 часов.

Actually unidirectional implies one complete action with its beginning and end - in one piece. "часто", "обычно" etc. (regular actions) usually "Multidirectional". Native speakers can play with it though... But you are not recommended for now.

"Unidirectional" is what one is doing right now or was doing at that very moment.

Я понял. Спасибо.
