Ajattelitko vielä sitä esiintymistä?" Jukka kysyi hymyillen.En: "Hey Eeva! Are you still thinking about that performance?" Jukka asked with a smile.Fi: "Joo, Jukka. Mun täytyy päättää, mitä me puetaan." Eeva vastasi huolissaan.En: "Yeah, Jukka. I need to decide what we are going to wear," Eeva replied worriedly.Fi: "Eeva, sä olet hyvä tässä! Mennään yhdessä shoppailemaan. Otetaan uuteen avuksi Niina. Hän voi auttaa," Jukka ehdotti.En: "Eeva, you're good at this! Let's go shopping together. We'll get some help from Niina. She can assist," Jukka suggested.Fi: Eeva epäröi hetken, mutta sitten suostui. "Hyvä idea, Jukka. Kutsutaan Niina mukaan."En: Eeva hesitated for a moment, but then agreed. "Good idea, Jukka. Let's invite Niina to join us."Fi: Hakatorin kauppoihin kävi matka.En: They headed to the shops at Hakatori.Fi: Jouluvalot loistivat iloisesti, ja lumi peitti maan kauniisti.En: Christmas lights were shining joyfully, and the ground was beautifully covered with snow.Fi: Eeva ravisti hermostuneisuuttaan ja yritti miettiä sopivia asuja.En: Eeva shook off her nervousness and tried to think of suitable outfits.Fi: Kun he saapuivat kauppaan, Niina katseli ympärilleen uteliaana. "Tämä on niin erilaista kuin Helsingissä," hän huomautti.En: When they arrived at the store, Niina looked around curiously. "This is so different from Helsingissä," she noted.Fi: "Heh, Tampereessa on oma tunnelmansa," Jukka nauroi virnuillen.En: "Heh, Tampere has its own vibe," Jukka laughed with a grin.Fi: Eeva katsoi kiinnostuneesti erivärisiä takkeja ja pipoja. "Mikä näistä olisi hyvä?" hän kysyi epäröiden.En: Eeva looked with interest at jackets and hats of different colors. "Which of these would be good?" she asked hesitantly.Fi: "Mun mielestä tuo punainen on hieno," Jukka ehdotti.En: "I think that red one is nice," Jukka suggested.Fi: Mutta Eeva ei voinut päättää. Punainen tai sininen Niinalle? Hänen sydämensä alkoi hakata nopeammin, kun päätöksenteosta tuli yhä vaikeampaa.En: But Eeva couldn't decide. Red or blue for Niina? Her heart began to beat faster as the decision became increasingly difficult.Fi: Hetkessä Niina astui rohkeasti eteen. "Voinko auttaa? Tiedän hieman vaatesuunnittelusta," hän myönsi ujosti.En: In a moment, Niina stepped forward boldly. "Can I help? I know a bit about fashion design," she admitted shyly.Fi: Eeva innostui. "Todellako, Niina? Miten hienoa!"En: Eeva got excited. "Really, Niina? How wonderful!"Fi: He tutkivat yhdessä asuja tarkemmin.En: They examined the outfits together in more detail.Fi: Niinan silmät loistivat, kun hän kertoi muodista ja suunnitelmistaan.En: Niina's eyes sparkled as she talked about fashion and her plans.Fi: Niina auttoi Eevaa valitsemaan täydelliset asut kullekin.En: Niina helped Eeva choose the perfect outfits for each of them.Fi: Lopulta he kaikki hymyilivät valmiina näyttämään upeilta.En: In the end, they all smiled, ready to look fabulous.Fi: Eeva kiitti Niinaa vilpittömästi. "Sä pelastit minut! Kiitos, Niina."En: Eeva thanked Niina sincerely. "You saved me! Thank you, Niina."Fi: "Ei kestä, Eeva. Oli ilo olla avuksi," Niina vastasi tyytyväisenä.En: "No problem, Eeva. I was happy to help," Niina replied contentedly.Fi: Kun he palasivat koululle, Eeva tunsi itsensä varmemmaksi.En: When they returned to the school, Eeva felt more confident.Fi: Hän oli oppinut luottamaan itseensä ja hyväksymään apua ystäviltä.En: She had learned to trust herself and accept help from friends.Fi: Niina puolestaan tunsi vihdoin kuuluvansa joukkoon.En: Niina, in turn, finally felt like she belonged.Fi: Talvijuhlasta tulisi upea, ja sen ansiosta Eevalle jäi kaunis muisto ystävyyden voimasta.En: The winter celebration would be wonderful, leaving Eeva with a beautiful memory of the power of friendship.Fi: He kolme naurattivat toisiaan koulun käytävällä, tietäen, että heillä oli kaikki tarvittava pärjätäkseen yhdessä.En: The three of them laughed with each other in the school hallway, knowing they had everything they needed to succeed together.Fi: Jukka levitti kätensä ja julisti: "Talvijuhlat, täältä tullaan!"En: Jukka spread his arms and declared, "Winter celebration, here we come!"Fi: Jokainen heistä kantoi mukanaan lämpimiä ajatuksia ja uudenlaista voimaa, joka syntyi ystävyydestä ja yhteisestä kokemuksesta.En: Each of them carried warm thoughts and a newfound strength that emerged from friendship and a shared experience.Fi: Ja niin he jatkoivat kohti juhlia, valoisana päivänä Tampereella.En: And so they continued towards the celebration, on a bright day in Tampere.

A.K. 47 - Selections from the Works of Alexandra Kollontai Kristen R. Ghodsee Kristen R. Ghodsee reads and discusses 47 selections from the works of Alexandra Kollontai (1872-1952), a socialist women's activist who had radical ideas about the intersections of socialism and women's emancipation. Born into aristocratic privilege, the Ukrainian-Finnish Kollontai was initially a member of the Mensheviks before she joined Lenin and the Bolsheviks and became an important revolutionary figure during the 1917 Russian Revolution. Kollontai was a socialist theorist of women’s emancipation and a strident proponent of sexual relations freed from all economic considerations. After the October Revolution, Kollontai became the Commissar of Social Welfare and helped to found the Zhenotdel (the women's section of the Party). She oversaw a wide variety of legal reforms and public policies to help liberate working women and to create the basis of a new socialist sexual morality. But Russians were not ready for her vision of emancipation, and she was sent away to Norway to serve Explore Finland Radio Show Mark Wiltshear A Brit living in Finland's Wild West.
