Short-wavelength asymptotics of time correlation functions (TCF) of simple classical fluids is considered in the framework of short time expansion. The explicit expressions for zeroth time moments up to the 8-th order of cumulant are presented in the framework of additive approach. It is shown that unlike the dynamic structure factor which is found to have Gaussian form in short-wavelength limit, nongaussian corrections are present in TCF ``density-energy'' and ``energy-energy''. The comparison with generalized collective modes approach as well as data for quantum liquids is discussed.

Key words: time correlation functions, short-wavelength limit, generalized collective modes, cumulant expansion
