   • 1892 , Szymon Dickstein, translated by Напалеон Чарноцкі and Антон Ражаў, Dziadźka Anton, Tilsit: U drukarni Marii Krasoûskoj, translation of Ojciec Szymon, page 35:

     pakul car z panami i ispraûnikami, i ûsimi swaimi słuhami budzie panawać nad ludam i wyciskać z jaha ostatnija soki jak z syra kanaplanaha, datul mużyki nia zaznajuć lepszaha życia, nia zaznajuć lepszaj doli;

     as long as the tsar, along with the landowners, state officials, and all his servants, keeps ruling over the people and squeezing the last juices out of them like from a piece of hemp cheese, the peasants won't experience a better life, nor will they experience a better fate;

   • 1938 , Charles Dickens, anonymous translator, Домбі і сын, Minsk: ДВБ, translation of Dombey and Son, page 7:

     Засталася, разумееце, стома, але нічога падобнага на тое, што я сама зазнала з Джорджам або з Фрэдэрыкам.

     Zastalasja, razumjejecje, stóma, alje ničóha padóbnaha na tóje, što ja sama zaznala z Džórdžam abó z Frederykam.

     There is still exhaustion, certainly, but nothing like what I underwent myself, either with George or Frederick.
