Esimerkit

“1893 Zachris Topelius, Lukemisia lapsille, 2:nen osa (Vihkot 13,14,15), Werner Söderström, page 110 ("Satu Rutinasta ja Pilviparrasta")”

The people in the cottage had two small children: a boy named Sylvesteri and a girl named Sylvia. It's odd how they got such names; perhaps from the forest, which is sylva in Latin. But Sylvesteri is on the calendar at the last day of the year, so his name day is on New Year's Eve.

“"Toisinaan vielä sakottavat", oli hän Riikaa peloitellut. Riika oli silloin haikeasti huokaissut ja tyytynyt nimeen Sylvesteri, jota Topi oli väittänyt yhtä koreaksi nimeksi kuin Helanteri. Tätä poikaa sanottiin siis Vesteriksi.”

"One day we'll still have to pay", said he to Riika to intimidate her. Riika had let out a melancholic sigh and made due with the name Sylvesteri which Topi had claimed was as flowery as Helanteri. Yet this boy would often be called Vesteri.
