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".
