Keep conjugation and aspect separate
Apply the known aspect contrast without changing the Type II ending family.
Type II endings remain Type II regardless of aspect. An aspectual relation may preserve the class, change it, or use another root.
- говорить is imperfective.
- поговорить is a bounded 'talk for a while'.
- сказать is a different-root perfective relation.
| Imperfective Type II | Perfective Type II | |
|---|---|---|
| Non-past | present meaning | future meaning |
| Future | буду + infinitive | simple Type II personal form |
| Command tendency | activity, routine, continuation | one concrete bounded action |
