verbs of motion + prefixes

coming & going
· glagoli premikanjav- in, iz- out, pre- across, od- away, pri- toward
A prefix on a motion verb says the direction. From -iti / -stopiti: vstopiti (get on / enter, v- = in), izstopiti (get off, iz- = out), prestopiti (change / transfer, pre- = across), oditi (leave, od- = away), priti (come / arrive, pri- = toward). Carrying has two verbs: nesti (carry once, one direction) vs nositi (carry habitually). Same with peljati (drive/take): pripeljati = arrive by vehicle.
Vstopim na avtobus.I get on the bus.v- = in → enter
Izstopim na postaji.I get off at the stop.iz- = out → exit
Prestopim na drug vlak.I change to another train.pre- = across → transfer
