   • 1996 Onnimanni,Kuullun ymmärtäminen, ET-lehti 3/1996, page 39: :

     Naapuripöydissä kävi aika metakka, kun vaari-ikäiset tohkasivat päivän teemaansa:
     ―Ette usko, mutta vanhimmalla pojalla on Jeppe ja Jeri...
     ―Ja meidän likalla Vili, ihan totta...
     Suntelli huutaa:
     ―Serkkupojalla kirmaa Peetu ja Tomppa...

     The neighboring tables had quite a racket when the grandpas were loudly talking about their topic of the day::
     ―You won't believe me, but my oldest son has Jeppe and Jeri...
     ―And our daughter has a Vili, earnestly...
     Suntelli yells out:
     ―My cousin has Peetu and Tomppa...
