- руководи́ть (rukovodítʹ, “to guide”) + -и́мый (-ímyj) → руководи́мый (rukovodímyj, “guided”)
- гнать (gnatʹ, “to chase, to pursue”) (1sg. present гоню́ (gonjú)) + -и́мый (-ímyj) → гони́мый (gonímyj, “persecuted”)
- -able, -ible (added to both imperfective and perfective conjugation-II verbs)
- дели́ть (delítʹ, “to divide”) + -и́мый (-ímyj) → дели́мый (delímyj, “divisible”)
- терпе́ть (terpétʹ, “to tolerate”) + -и́мый (-ímyj) → терпи́мый (terpímyj, “tolerable”)

Usage notes
- The ending is added onto the 3rd-singular present-tense stem, not the infinitive stem (cf. гони́мый (gonímyj) from гнать (gnatʹ), present 3sg го́нит (gónit)).
- The stress is drawn onto the suffix (cf. выполни́мый (vypolnímyj) from вы́полнить (výpolnitʹ)).
