Pronunciation
Proper noun
Vesa
- a male given name
- 2003, Johanna Sinisalo, Sankarit, Tammi, →ISBN, page 12:
- Vesa antaisi mitä tahansa että häntä sanottaisiin Veskuksi tai Vesseksi tai vaikka edes helvetti vieköön Vesseliksi, mutta vain Vessa ja sen versiot sinkuvat ilmassa ja kaikuvat korvakäytävissä, silloinkin kun niitä ei huudeta. Vaikka hänen sukunimensä on Kuningas ja siitä saisi vaikka mitä.
- Vesa would give anything just to be called Vesku or Vesse or damn it even Vesseli, but only Vessa and its variants fly through the air and echo in the ear canals, even when not called. Even if his surname is Kuningas and that could pay for anything.
