One of the meanings that verbs have in the Russian language due to the adding of the prefixes воз-/вос-, за- and по-, is the one of the beginning of the action. In the Romanian language the meaning itself is expressed via some of aspectual verbs with inchoative semantics, the most frequent being the verb a începe (to begin) itself. In the framework of the Romanian equivalents of the aspectual verb prefixes from the Russian language the polysemantic lexemes a prinde a / să, a izbucni în, a fi cuprins de, a se apuca de, a (se) porni pe, a se pune pe function as aspectual verbs.
