The delimitative aspect is a grammatical aspect that indicates that a situation lasts only a certain amount of time.[1] It is sometimes called durative aspect.
In Polish, Polish: stałem i gadałem contrasts with Polish: postałem i pogadałem (the prefix Polish: 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.
