   • 2023, Iida Turpeinen, Elolliset, →ISBN, page 77:

     Hän lahjoo heidät tupakalla. Toma Lepkiniä hän ei kysy, ja muutkin suostuvat vain vaivoin, kiristävät häneltä enemmän tupakkaa kuin hän oli ajatellut olevansa valmis tarjoamaan, mutta hän tarvitsee apua ja tyhjentää massinsa.

     He bribes them with cigarettes. He doesn’t even ask Toma Lepkini, and the others only agree reluctantly, wringing more cigarettes out of him than he’d thought he was prepared to give – but he needs their help, so he empties his stash.

3. (colloquial) money
