- Russian
Я отдыхаю - I am having a rest
Я отдохнул/отдыхал - I had a rest (activity already finished at the moment of speech)
You can say "Я отдыхал/отдохнул в Крыму летом"
Я отдохну(буду отдыхать) - I will have a rest
- Russian
Kinda indefinite and perfect form of the verb:
I used to rest - Я привык отдыхать.
I need to rest (now) - Мне нужно отдохнуть.
Intermediate action and the one that will has an end
- Russian
Отдыхать - to make act of a rest with any time period. This act may be over. Отдохнуть - to take a rest as a result of your action of rest
- Russian
the difference is just about the duration of action. nothing else.
For to explain more clearly
imagine 2 things. First is an endless line without beginning and end, and second - a line segment.
Ok?
so отдыхать из a "line"
and "отдохнуть" is "line segment"
