• In the sense "to put, set, place", the verb is sometimes replaced with one of the synonyms listed below in more formal or careful speech or text. This is done in order to avoid even an accidental association with the vulgar meaning. This development isn't universal, however, and in fact some criticize this practice.
• In the sense "to fuck, shag": mostly used of the active partner, while ottaa is used of the passive partner. This usage is not necessarily exclusive, however.

Colloquially, the present stem pane- may be replaced in some forms with paa- (but only rarely for the senses "to brew" and the vulgar sense):

• (put): laittaa, asettaa, pistää
• (deposit): tallettaa
• (fuck): naida, nussia, hässiä, bylsiä
