Continuative aspect


The continuative aspect is a grammatical aspect representing actions that are 'still' happening. English does not mark the continuative explicitly but instead uses an adverb such as still.
Ganda uses the prefix -kya- to mark the continuative aspect. For example, nsoma means 'I'm reading', while nkyasoma means 'I'm still reading'.
Similarly, Pipil marks the continuative aspect using the clitic -uk-. For instance, nitakwa means 'I am eating' or 'I eat', while nitakwayuk means 'I'm still eating'.
