Continuative aspect

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-.
