This study is to reinterpret various meanings of the adnominal markers, ``-ten`` and ``-essten``. An analysis of the spoken language corpus revealed that ``-ten`` was used to represent speaker`s continuance of experience. If a contrast situation appeared in the main clause, the meaning of ``continuance`` was broken off. ``-Essten`` was more frequently used than ``-ten`` in the cases where speaker wanted to make a retrospective meaning of an adjective clearer. When adjective is combined with ``-essten``, meaning of ``experience`` was emphasized. When verb is combined with ``-ten``, meaning of either ``continuance`` or ``common habit`` was represented. When ``-essten`` is attached to a verb, meaning of ``completion`` of an experience is revealed more clearly. On the other hand, ``-ita/anita`` rarely appeared with ``-ten`` but combined freely with ``-essten``. This study reinterpreted meanings of ``-ten`` and ``-essten`` which were simply interpreted as ``perfective`` and ``imperfective`` in the previous studies. The findings of this study provides more information to enhance our understanding of ``-ten, -essten``.
