I am searching for a good definition and fitting examples of _intransitive verbs_. For example one not helpful [example from Wikipedia](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intransitivit%C3%A4t_(Grammatik)):

> „Gehen“ ist intransitiv. Man kann nicht etwas oder jemanden gehen.

Yes I can! I can say: _Ich gehe den Weg (entlang)._ So fail. The example doesn’t make it clear. Next one:

> „Essen“ dagegen ist ein transitives Verb: „Ich esse einen Fisch“ (Subjekt – Prädikat – Akkusativobjekt).

I can say: _Ich esse (gerade)_, which is a perfectly fine phrase and it doesn’t require anything added to it. So both of the examples don’t work.

At the same time I am searching for examples, which are really clear and beginner vocabulary.

A precise and easy to understand definition for transitive verbs for foreigners learning German would also be nice to have.
