The prefix "пере-" in Russian is like a little helper that changes the meaning of verbs.

Here are some key points about how this prefix works:

1. Change in Meaning:

   • The prefix "пере-" often indicates some kind of movement or shift.
   • For example, the word "ехать" means "to go." When you add "пере-," it turns into "переехать," which means "to move over" or "to cross."

2. How It’s Used:

   • This prefix can also suggest that something is being done again or has been changed.
   • For example, "писать" means "to write." With "пере-," it becomes "переписывать," which means "to rewrite."

3. Common Patterns:

   • You’ll often find it used with verbs about actions or movements to make the meaning stronger.
   • For instance, "нести" means "to carry." When you add "пере-," it becomes "переносить," which means "to carry over" or "to transfer."

Knowing how "пере-" changes verbs can help you understand and use Russian verbs better.
