a stative verb describes a state rather than an action or event, and is not usually used in progressive (3) forms, for example 'belong' in the sentence 'this book belongs to me'
(Dilbilim) A stative verb is one which asserts that one of its arguments has a particular property (possibly in relation to its other arguments). Statives differ from other aspectual classes of verbs in that they are static; they have no duration and no distinguished endpoint. Verbs which are not stative are often called dynamic verbs
