     На польох на хторих є винята, штреднї урожай цвикли добри, руша ше од коло 55 тони по 76 тони по гектару и, як гваря продукователє, єст и поля на хторих урожай менши и на хторих цвикла з часци згнїла.

     Na polʹox na xtorix je vinjata, štrednji urožaj cvikli dobri, ruša še od kolo 55 toni po 76 toni po hektaru i, jak hvarja produkovatelje, jest i polja na xtorix urožaj menši i na xtorix cvikla z časci zhnjila.
