{{Short description|Grammatical aspect}} {{mi| {{no sources|date=August 2016}} {{notability|date=November 2025}} }} {{Distinguish|Continuous aspect}} The '''continuative aspect''' (abbreviated '''{{sc|cont}}''' or '''{{sc|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 {{lang|lg|-kya-}} to mark the continuative aspect. For example, {{lang|lg|nsoma}} (unmarked for aspect) means "I'm reading", while {{lang|lg|nkyasoma}} (continuative) means "I'm still reading".
Similarly, Pipil marks the continuative aspect using the clitic {{lang|ppl|-(y)uk-}}. For instance, {{lang|ppl|nitakwa}} means "I am eating" or "I eat", while {{lang|ppl|nitakwayuk}} (continuative) means "I'm still eating".
