En: The sun shone brightly on the market square in Helsinki. Fi: Ilmassa tuoksui tuore leipä ja vastapaahdettu kahvi. En: The air smelled of fresh bread and freshly roasted coffee. Fi: Aino ja Eero kävelivät yhdessä kohti jäätelökojua. En: Aino and Eero walked together toward the ice cream stand. Fi: He olivat iloisia auringosta ja kevään lämmöstä.
