Finnish
[edit]Etymology
[edit]From Proto-Finnic *kirot'ak, from Proto-Finno-Ugric *kira-. Related to Estonian kiruma and Votic tširotõ.
Pronunciation
[edit]Verb
[edit]kirota
- (intransitive) to curse, swear, damn
- (transitive) to curse, hex, cast a spell over, enchant someone negatively
Usage notes
[edit]- The frequentative verb kiroilla is used when the cursing lasts longer, is continuous, is temporally more or less indefinite or the cursing is a habit. On the other hand, kirota is used, for example, when a person says one or a few naughty words in a particular situation. The difference can sometimes be translated in English by using the continuous aspect.
