Russian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Derived from an iterative of obsolete пять (pjatʹ) (see -пять (-pjatʹ)), ultimately from Proto-Slavic *pęti.

Pronunciation[edit]

  • IPA(key): [pʲɪˈnatʲ]
  • (file)

Verb[edit]

пина́ть (pinátʹimpf (perfective пнуть)

  1. to kick

Usage notes[edit]

Пина́ть is comparatively rarely used and has negative connotations. In everyday speech, Russians do not differentiate between forms of striking or physical violence in the same way as English speakers. "Punch," "kick," "slap," "stab" etc. are all commonly expressed simply using the verb ударить (udaritʹ).
