In Polish, Script error: No such module "Lang". 'I stood and chatted' contrasts with Script error: No such module "Lang". 'I stood and chatted for a while' (the prefix Script error: No such module "Lang". 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.
