- Source: Delimitative aspect
The delimitative aspect is a grammatical aspect that indicates that a situation lasts only a certain amount of time. It is sometimes called durative aspect.
In Polish, stałem i gadałem 'I stood and chatted' contrasts with postałem i pogadałem 'I stood and chatted for a while' (the prefix po- marking the delimitative aspect in this example).
Delimitative aspect in Chinese is often marked by reduplication of the verb. For details see Chinese grammar§Aspects.
