usage notes, top meaning Unlike English to go, German gehen does not mean "to travel somewhere" in general. A distinction must be made between gehen (walk), fahren (go by bike, car, train, or ship), and fliegen (go by plane). If used with a place one cannot or would not commonly walk to, gehen often implies that one intends to stay there permanently, e.g.: Ich gehe nach New York. – I'm going to live in New York.

  5. label impersonal to be going; to be alright; indicates how the dative object fares Wie geht es dir? Es geht mir gut. Es geht.
