How “ищет” is used

Ищет is the third-person form of искать, and like English seeks it is the word at the top of a job advert: компания ищет дизайнера. Russian has no register split here — искать covers look for, search and seek together, and the formality comes from the sentence around it.

The verb is irregular in a way worth memorising: ищу, ищешь, ищет — the ск of искать turns into щ throughout the present tense. And it takes the accusative with no preposition, exactly as seek does.

Forms of “ищет”

  • искать infinitive
