That is easy: Russinates, Germanates, Japanates, Chinates and Koreates.

As an aside, where does "dominate" as a noun come from? Here, in the UK, a dominant dominates - or at least it does round where I live.

Interesting question... I'm not sure if we could take a direct translation and have it work. After all, we're really misusing the adjective as a noun (all the more hilarious given that we take such pains to point out the oh-so-obvious absurdity of using the verb as a noun). If we directly translate the adjective, there's no way to assume that others are so benighted and inexpressive as us.

That's what I was thinking too.

I don't have an answer for the target languages, but I can give them for Dutch.
Incidentally, in Dutch you can make the literal translation and use the adjective as a noun.

Now I'm also curious if the same thing applies to other languages. I know the French and German usages for Master/Mistress in a BDSM context are their literal translations from English, but I don't have a clue how dominant translates in those (if at all).

In Dutch:

Master - Meester; plural: Meesters

Mistress - Meesteres; plural: Meesteressen

Dom/Dominant - Dom/Dominant; plural: Doms/Dominants
(Dominant is pronounced distinctly different, with the emphasize on the second syllable instead of the first; Dom is pronounced more like "dumb"... in fact... "dom" actually literally means "dumb" in Dutch, so it's a term not all Dominants relish being addressed with)

Domme - Domme; plural: Dommes
(again pronounced different, with the "e" pronounced as the "u" in rug... though it seems that English speakers don't seem to be sure how exactly to pronounce Domme in English)

slave (boy) - slaaf

slave (girl) - slavin

slaves - slaven

sub - sub; plural: subs
(same pronunciation)

In Japanese, it's "sensei".

I believe Sensei is the translation of 'Master' I don't think it is the translation for 'dominant', the adjective, describing a person of dominant behavior. (Sensei describing a person of mastery and leadership.)

In Spanish, the words Amo and Ama are used for Master and Mistress.

If you continue to do that, many people will think you are uneducated and without realtime experience. Or you could use the more correct word "dominant." Your choice.

Same thing when using an apostrophe for plurals...

Dominates is a verb "he dominates the game"

Dominant is more a noun(adverb) "he is a dominant (personality)"
I think I got that right. I trust that one of our resident grammarians can (and WILL!! LOL) correct me if I'm wrong...

Germans use the term ''Herrin'' which is quite a nice title for a female domme ...its not as harsh as the term Mistress.
