Suffix
-я́ть or -ять • (-játʹ or -jatʹ)
- The infinitive suffix for many verbs. Usually indicates an imperfective verb. Often used to derive imperfective verbs from prefixed perfective verbs in -ить (-itʹ), and triggers iotation.
- на- (na-) + пра́вить impf (právitʹ, “to drive, to steer”) → напра́вить pf (naprávitʹ, “to direct”) + -я́ть (-játʹ) → направля́ть impf (napravljátʹ)
