Esimerkit
“―Mietin tätä sinun nimeäsi, Hugo sanoo. ―Malla, se on erikoinen nimi. Onko se todella vain Malla? Ei Magdalena? ―Malla. Se on tunturi. ―Tosiaan, Hugo mutisee. ―Se on vähän hankala, kuulostaa lempinimeltä. Olet varmaan joutunut usein selittämään mistä nimi tulee. ―En. ―Täällä voi olla toisin. Ruotsinkielinen sukunimikin on vaikea. Koulussa kaikilla muilla on suomalainen nimi.”
―I was wondering about this name of yours, Hugo said. ―Malla is an unusual name. Is it really just Malla? Not Magdalena? ―Malla. It's a fell. ―Indeed, Hugo mutters. ―It is a bit tricky since it sounds like a nickname. I guess you've had to explain that name many times. ―I haven't. ―Maybe it's different here. Even a Swedish-sounding surname here is difficult. Everyone else in school has a Finnish name.
