Other synonyms like iljetä and rohjeta are attested in both groups and are also standard. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== === Further reading === “kehdata”, in Kielitoimiston sanakirja [Dictionary of Contemporary Finnish]‎[1] (in Finnish) (online dictionary, continuously updated), Kotimaisten kielten keskuksen verkkojulkaisuja 35, Helsinki: Kotimaisten kielten tutkimuskeskus (Institute for the Languages of Finland), 2004–, retrieved 2 July 2023
