To hit?

Hey everyone, I'm working through my workbook and... I want to know which verb to use when I'm trying to say "to hit." In context, I'm going to be talking about someone hitting a piñata with a stick. I looked it up on this site's dictionary, but there are a LOT of words that mean "to hit." I'm looking at "bastonear," meaning "to hit with a stick" but after looking it up somewhere on some other websites I've come to the conclusion that it's more in the sense of "to cane" like punishing a small child.

edit:
Would "golpear" work? I've always thought of "golpear" as bump/bruise/knock into (for injuries)..

I think golpear or pegar would be the most common verbs.

Also exist other way to say the same but of a way more sick at least in my country.

The word is Madrear.

I don't know if exist an equivalent in English for this word, even though I don't believe it.

I hope this can help you.

To hit- golpear.


I'll hit you because you don't pay me the money that I borrowed you three days ago.


You can exchange the word hit for the another ones that I told you.

You often will imagine as the word will be mixed with the other slang.
