• The imperfective verb е́хать (jéxatʹ) with corresponding perfective пое́хать (pojéxatʹ) is a unidirectional verb. Its multidirectional counterpart is е́здить (jézditʹ).
• The imperative forms едь (jedʹ) / е́дьте (jédʹte) and е́хай (jéxaj) / е́хайте (jéxajte) (including derivatives with prefixes) are used but are considered illiterate and are not recommended for use. The recommended imperative forms are suppletive forms поезжа́й (pojezžáj) / поезжа́йте (pojezžájte) but езжа́й (jezžáj) / езжа́йте (jezžájte) are also acceptable. The derivatives (приезжать, заезжать, выезжать, etc.) use prefix + езжа́й (jezžáj) / prefix + езжа́йте (jezžájte). For negative imperative, use не е́зди (ne jézdi).
• The present adverbial form е́дучи (jéduči) is dated. Occasionally, in colloquial speech, other forms are encountered, such as е́дя (jédja), е́хая (jéxaja) or езжа́я (jezžája), but these are proscribed.
