maskata

Finnish. Rfv-sense: "to mask, make up". Tagged by @Brittletheories but not listed. — SURJECTION ^{/ T / C / L /} 10:27, 31 January 2022 (UTC)

Urbaani sanakirja has this sense[1]. --Hekaheka (talk) 22:59, 1 February 2022 (UTC)

Found at least one usage here [2]: "Tytöt itse maskaavat itsensä, ”mustilla kynillä” saadaan nopeasti viikset tai mustaa väriä naamaan." I would consider dropping the translation "to make up", though. It has the sense "to prepare for a theatrical performance by means of costume, cosmetics", but is now chiefly understood to mean "to apply makeup". I'll add a gloss to clarify which sense of make up the translation is referring to. --Hekaheka (talk) 08:16, 2 February 2022 (UTC)
