Muna has five aspect suffixes and one unmarked aspect:
{| class="bluetable lightbluebg" style="text-align:center;"
 
! style="width:100px;" | Aspect
;Perfective
! style="width:60px;" | Abbr.
:The perfective aspect indicates an event viewed in its entirety, without reference to its temporal structure during its occurrence. The perfective aspect in muna can also act as gnomic depending on the sentence itself.
