For simplicity, this section says " is completed ", not " was, is, or will be completed . " ( Do not confusive perfective aspect with " perfectly done " .)
32.
"' Perfect "': Not to be confused with the perfective aspect, the perfect aspect generally signals the resultant state of an action or event, similar to participles in English.
33.
Its absence signifies perfective aspect, and it may be further suffixed with "-yan ", producing "-ma-yan ", to denote continuous or imperfective aspect.
34.
However, on the contrary of regular verbs, when the base form is used alone it represents the "'imperfective aspect "'and not the "'perfective aspect " '.
35.
Further, the perfective aspect can indicate a past, habitual action, similar to the English " used to " or " would " ( " We used to / would go to the park everyday " ).
36.
Some classify the prefixed forms as an aorist, that is, a simple past with a perfective aspect as opposed to using present perfect or past perfect ( auxiliary verb + participle ) to convey a completed action.
37.
Most Russian verbs come in pairs, one with imperfective aspect and the other with perfective aspect, the latter usually formed from the former with a prefix but occasionally with a stem change or using a different root.
38.
In " Mag-verbs " reduplication of the root after the prefix " mag-" or " nag-" changes the verb from the infinitive form, or perfective aspect, respectively, to the contemplated or imperfective aspect.
39.
Transitive verbs in the perfective aspect are marked with the auxiliary preverb " la ~ laj ", the full form " laj " used in the Oxchuc dialect only when the auxiliary appears alone, as an affirmation.
40.
The "'perfective aspect "'( abbreviated ), sometimes called the "'aoristic aspect "', is a grammatical aspect used to describe an action viewed as a simple whole a unit without interior composition.
