An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

The continuative aspect (abbreviated CONT or CNT) 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 (unmarked for aspect) means 'I'm reading', while nkyasoma (continuative) means 'I'm still reading'. Similarly, Pipil marks the continuative aspect using the clitic -(y)uk-. For instance, nitakwa means 'I am eating' or 'I eat', while nitakwayuk (continuative) means 'I'm still eating'. * v * t * e
