Description:

The set phrase 'kiputys minna' means to pray, or a prayer. It otherwise works exactly like 'minna' - the recipient of the prayer can be added in the dative case, typically a deity or saint. Under 'Forms', some alternative phrasings are given. To be especially euphemistic, the modifier suggesting holiness can be removed and the expression then becomes indistinguishable form an expression for 'to request'.

The noun form 'na kiputys minna' means prayer in general (this could be made more clear by using 'na kiputys minnasyn'), or a specific prayer.
