| Summary: | Despite its frequent usage, the verbal prefix do- has received little attention in both Russian and Ukrainian research.

This study aims at testing this claim by comparing translations of Russian and Ukrainian do-verbs into the other language using a parallel corpus. It is argued that in both languages do- can express REACH, ADDITION, and EXCESS. In Ukrainian, though, this prefix can additionally express CONVEY.
