      Nagreskapussalle, kumpaa veel kutsutaa kolrabiks, kasvaa vaa ympyrkäin, lihakas kotsena, kumpa voittiijaa nagrehen, lantun tali turnuksen juuree, mut itse assiaas tämä kotsena ei oo juuri, a ono paksuntunt vars, kumpa ain ono maan pääl.
      On the turnip cabbage, which is also called kohlrabi, grows a round, meaty cabbage stalk, which resembles a root of the turnip, swede or fodder turnip, but in reality this stalk isn't a root, but a thickened stem, which is always on the ground.
