WHAT DOES INCEPTIVE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Inchoative aspect

Inchoative aspect is a grammatical aspect, referring to the beginning of a state. It can be found in conservative Indo-European languages such as Latin and Lithuanian, and also in Finnic languages. It should not be confused with the prospective, which denotes actions that are about to start. The English language can approximate the inchoative aspect through the verbs "to become" or "to get" combined with an adjective. Since inchoative is a grammatical aspect and not a tense, it can be combined with tenses to form present inchoative, past inchoative and future inchoative, all used in Lithuanian. In Russian, inchoatives are regularly derived from unidirectional imperfective verbs of motion by adding the prefix по-, e.g. бежать - побежать: "to run" - "to start running". Also cf. шли vs. "Пошли!" meaning approximately "Let's get going!". Certain other verbs can be marked for the inchoative aspect with the prefix за-. In Latin, the inchoative aspect was marked with the infix -sc-. The term inchoative verb is used by generative grammarians to refer to a class of verbs that reflect a change of state; e. g.
