08. ASPECT MARKERS IN MAURITIAN (MC)
There are 2 aspect markers in our national language. They are the progressive “pe” and the perfective “finn’. “Pe” is used to show that an action is still ongoing as in ‘Mo pe travay’. Note that this element of grammar is absent in French but fundamental in Mauritian and in English: ‘Mo pe travay/ I am working’. “Finn” suggests that an action has just been completed as in ‘Mo finn ekrir let la’ (I have written the letter). ‘Finn’ is NOT a marker of past tense which is ‘ti’. Many Mauritians do misuse basic grammar rules of our national language because they think ‘it has no grammar.‘ Last night (06.01,23) an experienced newscaster made the mistake of confusing the perfective with the progressive. At the beginning of the 7.00 p.m news, instead of saying “Mersi, ou PE resevwar nou dan ou lakaz, the lady said, ‘Mersi, ou FINN resevwar nou dan ou lakaz,’ which is correct at the end of the news WHEN IT’S OVER.
PLEASE DO NOT USE OUR NATIONAL LANGUAGE ‘BONAVINI’ (carelessly).
