Well, I 'siirrän' (1st person singular form of the verb 'siirtää' that has
the singular imperative form 'siirrä' suitable for commands) files around
the file system and 'kopioin' (imperative: 'kopioi') or 'monistan'
(duplicate, imperative: 'monista') something on a photocopier.

The point is, if you really want commands to reflect what people think,
you have to localise them too. While I can and often do think in English
although it is not my native language, not everyone can do that.

Such was, however, proposed earlier in this thread.

But then it's not 'darcs mv'.
