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.
