     —Se oli siis Juho?
     —Juho oli ja Juhona pysyi. Jos joku yritti Jussiksi vääntää, se komensi: pysy oikeessa nimessä!

     —Well. Why not. Hey buddy, write old dad's name on the boat, so Juho Syrjäläinen gets to ride the waves again.
     —So it was Juho?
     —Juho he was and Juho he remained. If someone tries to call him Jussi, he'd tell them off and to stick to the right name!
