Spanking in Finnish?

[SpankingSilke]

I was wondering how to translate the word 'spanking' into Finnish 

[oddartist]

Piiskaus.

[SpankingSilke]

Kiitos!
Is it also used as a verb? As in 'I'm spanking you', or 'I'm going to spank you' ?

[Riida]

Yes. The verb is "piiskata".

[kettutyttö]

Yes. The verb is "piiskata".

It is in verbgroup 4. So the stem is piiska(a)
Minä piiskaan = I spank
Sinä piiskaat = you spank
Hän/se piiskaa = (s)he/it spanks
Piiskataan is the passif form so:
Minua piiskataan = I am being spanked

Sorry, but I disagree. Piiskata means hitting with some kind of thin object (whip, cat o nine tails, twig, carpet hitting device), whereas spanking means hitting with your hand or with a flat object (paddle).

There is no Finnish direct verb for spanking that I know of, the closest would be 'antaa selkäsauna' or 'läimäyttää (avokämmenellä).

In English, the word spanking is often used when speaking about physical punishment for small children, and in this context especially, it would be wrong to translate that to 'piiskata'.

Corporal punishment is important in english culture, so there is lot of words for it. In our language is lot of words for snow.

I think that this goes bit too technical now, and "piiskata" is just adequate nowadays even in kinky-circles. Besides "lasten piiskaus" i.e. spanking children has been common expression, and hitting with whip is "ruoskia".

I'm spanking you - piiskaan sinua

I'm going to spank you - piiskaan sinut

[kettutyttö]

Piiskaamatta = without being spanked.
En pysty olla piiskaamatta kinkybileissä. = I cant't be on a kinkyparty without spanking someone.

[orjamies]

huom. kettutyttö

en pysty olemaan piiskaamatta !

( ei...  pysty olla )

Ja muita aiheeseen olennaisia kielikuppasia ja kväännöksiä:

spankability=piiskattavuus as in "Onpa piiskattavan näköinen XYZ!"
unspankable=piiskaamiskelvoton kuten edellisen esimerkin vastakohdassa.
spankling=piiskaileskentelu - olla muka piiskaavinaan=piiskaileskennella
spallation=spallaatio - oikein kovan piiskaamisen lopputulos.
due to the act of not having been spanked=piiskautumattomuuksissaan - "Piiskautumattomuuksissaan XYZ oli kasvanut kovin itsepäiseksi"
