Talk:поплавать

@Benwing2 Please note that although поплавать and поплыть share the same prefix, its meaning is different.

Он поплыл в сторону маяка. - He started swimming towards the lighthouse.

Она поплавала в озере и пошла домой. - She swam in the lake for a while and went home.

ОК, would you still say they form a concrete/abstract pair? Benwing2 (talk) 23:12, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Note, for some reason I didn't get your ping. Benwing2 (talk) 23:13, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

Yes, they do. --Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:24, 24 February 2016 (UTC)

@Benwing2 Other perfective verbs of movement with prefix по- behave the same way - пойти/походить, побежать/побегать, поехать/поездить, полететь/полетать, поползти/поползать, etc.--Anatoli T. ^{(обсудить}/^вклад) 23:32, 24 February 2016 (UTC)
