AB - The purpose of this paper is to identify the correct positioning of -ha and -ra, which are the only members of participle suffixes in Manchu. Attempts are made to establish if they belong to the categories of tense and aspect, as established in general linguistic theories, such as that of Comrie (1976, 1986). In early Manchu grammars, these suffixes were described mainly according to the traditional three-way tense distinction of past / present / future. Since Avrorin (1949), there has been a tendency to describe these suffixes in aspectual category. However, the aspectual distinction between -ha, which refers to the so-called ‘complete’ situation and -ra, which refers to the ‘incomplete’ situation, differs from the distinction between perfective and imperfective aspect established by Comrie (1976). It can therefore be seen as a tense distinction between past and non-past in terms of relative tense at best.
