Usage notes
[edit]- As with most frequentatives, ravistaa and ravistella and their derivatives ravistus and ravistelu are quite close in meaning. However, ravistaa and ravistus tend to refer to a more short-term and/or regular action, whereas ravistella and ravistelu refer to a more long-term and/or erratic shaking.
- Ravista ennen käyttöä. ― Shake before use.
- Jatkuvat maanjäristykset ravistelivat rakennuksia. ― Continuous earthquakes shook the buildings.
