  1. Hello, what is the difference between впра́во and напра́во? Can I say Поверни́ руль напра́во? Thanks

    • Learn Russian Words says:

      Hi Anita,

      Вправо implies a bit more abrupt movement or turn than направо. You can say…

      – Поверните направо, а затем налево.
      Turn right and then left.

      …when you give directions.

      But if you are in the car and must react fast, you say вправо.
