Etymology

From Proto-Finnic *kirot'ak, from Proto-Finno-Ugric *kira-. Related to Estonian kiruma and Votic tširotõ.

Pronunciation

Verb

kirota

  1. (intransitive) to curse, swear, damn
  2. (transitive) to curse, hex, cast a spell over, enchant someone negatively

Usage notes

  • 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.
