сидеть (самому) vs. садить (другого) Explanation: sit - непереходный глагол. seat - переходный глагол. То есть sit - это когда Вы сами сидите, а seat - когда Вы кого-то сажаете. Пример: "I seated the girl next to her mother". seat = make someone sit http://www.english-for-students.com/What-is-the-difference-b... Но есть ещё один момент. Sit - это когда Вы находитесь в сидячем положении (сидите). А seat означает переход из стоячего положения в сидячее (аналог русского "посадить", "усадить"). Поэтому если кто-то садится, то либо он либо "seats himself", либо "sits down". "Also note that "seated herself" indicates a change, that at first she was not seated/sitting at the desk but later she was. In the right context, "sat" can also be used to express such a change, but it more often only means "was seated/sitting". "Sat down" is another option that indicates a change". https://forum.wordreference.com/threads/sit-vs-seat.2559202/ Когда Вы сами сидите - это sit. Когда Вы садите другого - это seat.
