I'm going to be honest, I hate grammar. The mere thought of the 'perfective' aspect of a word makes me want to backflip off of my chair onto my neck. When I learned about the aorist tense, I considered forgoing society to join a monastery w/ a vow of silence.

What’s an aorist
The word comes from Ancient Greek ἀόριστος aóristos "indefinite",[1] as the aorist was the unmarked (default) form of the verb, and thus did not have the implications of the imperfective aspect, which referred to an ongoing or repeated situation, or the perfect, which referred to a situation with a continuing relevance; instead it described an action "pure and simple".
