The entire bonfire?
The entire bonfire, Kokko.
Afghaniscran ( @Afghaniscran@feddit.uk ) 13•7 months agoThat makes more sense to me.
It’s similar to the English word play buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo

𝕽𝖚𝖆𝖎𝖉𝖍𝖗𝖎𝖌𝖍 ( @sxan@midwest.social ) 6•7 months agoI get a slightly different result from DDG translate:
Bonfire!
Assemble the whole bonfire.
The size of the bonfire?
The whole bonfire, the bonfire.Although, it’s even better with Kokko being a rare name;
Kokko!
Assemble the whole bonfire.
The size of the bonfire?
The whole bonfire, Kokko. boredtortoise ( @boredtortoise@lemm.ee ) 6•7 months ago“Bonfire!” works as a yell and for the ending in a poetic or lyrical style.
“The size of the bonfire” is wrong.
But we could add “Kokon koko?” to include it. Or even “Kokon koko koko?” for “The total/full size of the bonfire?” or “Koko kokon koko?” as in “The size of the whole bonfire?”
Edit for a narrative:
Kokko, kokko!
Kokko?
Kokoo kokoon koko kokko.
Koko kokkoko?
Koko kokko.
Kokon koko koko?
Kokon kokoinen kokko, Kokko.
And in English:
Kokko, the bonfire!
The bonfire?
Gather together the whole bonfire.
The whole bonfire?
The whole bonfire.
The total size of the bonfire?
A bonfire-sized bonfire, Kokko.

boredtortoise ( @boredtortoise@lemm.ee ) 2•7 months agoCheck out ChatGPT or deepl if you need Finnish translated. Of course this kind of wordplay is quite difficult to get right
