There is no grammatical #tense in either #Cantonese or #Mandarin, but there are a whopping 39 verb suffixes in Cantonese, including 15 #aspect markers. In contrast, Mandarin has 3 aspect-marking verb suffixes. For reference: there are 4 aspects in English, of which 3 are marked.
#華語 同 #廣東話 一樣,冇 #時態 (tense),但係會用 #動詞後綴 表示 #體 (aspect,類似英文嘅進行式、完成式)。
華語只有3種動詞後綴:了、著、過
廣東話就有39種動詞後綴,包括 15 種「體」:咗、過、落(實現體)、定、緊、吓、住、實、生晒、衡晒、起上嚟、起、得、落(開始體)、開
