class='note-txt'>NOTE: In African American English (AAE), such uses of done can also indicate that the speaker is feeling an intense emotional reaction (such as shock, surprise, or disappointment) to something that counters the speaker's expectations.

//“You ain't just cooked your goose; you done cremated it, my man!” — Mary Monroe Although done typically precedes past tense verbs in these AAE contexts, it can sometimes occur before present-tense verb forms. //She done make us late! It also sometimes follows the AAE features called invariant be and stressed BIN.

NOTE: In linguistics, these uses of done to indicate completion are referred to as the perfective done or preverbal done. The AAE use to convey both completion and strong emotion, in which done is unstressed in pronunciation, is sometimes called dən or i_link|unstressed done|unstressed done}.

//… dən denotes that an event has ended … — Lisa J. Green //… unstressed done continues to be used as a perfective marker (They done done it “They have finished doing it”) … — Stephan Gramley
