Rówok has a tripartite telicity system.


*Fully telic: for actions completed and followed through to the end; expressed with the [[#Telic|telic case]]
#'''Fully telic''': for actions completed and followed through to the end; expressed with the [[#Telic|telic case]]
*Non-telic: for uncompleted actions, for actions only done in part (shutting the door a little bit); expressed with the [[#Genitive|genitive case]]
#'''Non-telic''': for uncompleted actions, for actions only done in part (shutting the door a little bit); expressed with the [[#Genitive|genitive case]]
*Remotely telic: for actions not even attempted or begun, or for actions given the bare minimum of effort, sometimes with a pejorative sense, i.e. when the speaker wouldn't deign or dare to do something; expressed with the [[#Partitive|partitive case]]
#'''Remotely telic''': for actions not even attempted or begun, or for actions given the bare minimum of effort, sometimes with a pejorative sense, i.e. when the speaker wouldn't deign or dare to do something; also used for expressing very small amounts of a direct object; expressed with the [[#Partitive|partitive case]]


In the [[#Negation|negative]] the telicity system is bipartitie, i.e. just non-telic and remotely telic. Furthermore, in [[#Colloquial Rówok|colloquial Rówok]] some affirmative actions with negative senses (stopping as no longer doing, forgetting as no longer remembering, etc.) can show non-telic objects by analogy.

#''ayatyáš'''raz''' áytat''; marathon-S-'''GEN''' run-1-S-IMPERF; "I ran a marathon (but did not finish it)"
#''ayátyaš'''ab''' áytat''; marathon-S-'''PART''' run-1-S-IMPERF; "I ran a tiny bit of a marathon (a lot of interpretations, from 5k to starting and getting an injury, to "ha, yeah right, me run a marathon?!", all depending on context)"
