     Spacer dla zmuczanaho nad siadziaczaj pracaj, u szkole, ŭ kancylaryi i t. p. tak sama czaławieku patrebny dla zdaroŭja i nia może być nazwany hultawańniem, ale kali chto budzie bolsz zhaniać czasu na razryŭkach, czym na pracy, heta ŭżo budzie hultaj i treba jamu wiedać, szto chto nie pracuje, toj nie pawinien i jeści.

     Taking a walk when exhausted from sedentary work at school, in the office, or elsewhere is essential for one's health and cannot be interpreted as laziness. However, if someone spends more time taking breaks than working, they would be a slacker and need to know that those who don't work don't deserve to eat.

   • 1920, Francišak Alachnovič, Страхі жыцьця, Vilnius: Выдавецтва Народнага Камісарыяту Асьветы, page 30:

     Куды? на спацэр? О, хачу!

     Kudy? na spacer? O, xaču!

     Go where? For a walk? Sure, I'd love to!

     На Спаленай вуліцы жыў рыдыкульшчык на прозьвішча Кунеш. Ён ня мог схадзіць з сабакам на шпацыр без таго, каб ня згубіць яго.

     Na Spaljenaj vulicy žyŭ rydykulʹščyk na prózʹvišča Kunješ. Jon nja moh sxadzicʹ z sabakam na špacyr bjez tahó, kab nja zhubicʹ jahó.

     There was a bagmaker named Kuneš living on Spalena Street. He couldn't take a dog out for a walk without losing it.
