aspect?

[Yevgeniy Slivkin]

The paradox is that both verbs are, technically speaking, imperfective (дорешал - дорешил// додавала-додaла), but the context suggests that the actions in both sentences are completed thus the writer achieves a particular expressiveness of the phrases.

Dear Russian speakers,



Please assist me in my research by telling me the aspect, perfective or imperfectivve, of the verbs underlined below.



1. Таки старый Абрам дорешал все свои еврейские вопросы,—но есть вопросы, которые можно решать только с привлечением людей другой национальности.



2. То есть она додавала тем, кому было недодано, людей же, у которых было всего вдосталь, не замечала.



Thank you for you assistence.



Frank
