Swinging in Finnish

Vauhti is speed. In my life, the word is usually used in the context of swinging on a swing set. To push is normally työntää, but when swinging, Finnish children usually yell Anna mulle vauhtia! - Give me some speed! To pump is normally pumpata, but in a swinging context, we talk about ottaa vauhtia - take some speed. To swing is keinua or kiikkua. 

If you go to any Finnish playground and eavesdrop for a while, I'm sure you'll hear at least some of these phrases:

• Mennään keinumaan! - Let's go swinging!
• Minä haluan vauvakeinuun. - I want to go tot he baby swing. 
• Mä haluan hämähäkkikeinuun! - I want to go to the spider swing!
• Anna mulle vauhtia! - Push me!
• Lisää vauhtia! - More speed!
• Kovempaa! - Harder!
• Lujempaa! - Faster!
• Otapa itse vauhtia. - Why don't you pump yourself. 
• Mä en osaa ottaa vauhtia! - I don't know how to pump!
• Pidä kiinni! - Hold on!
• Lisää! - More!
• Joko mennään? - Shall we go already?
• Ei mennä vielä! - Let's not go yet!
• Keinutaan lisää! - Let's swing some more!
