The son wants to go to the sports store, because he needs shoes for the gym.
Unohtuiko jäsenkortti kotiin, vai jätitkö kengät ja kortin pukuhuoneeseen?
Did you forget the membership card at home, or did you leave the shoes and the card in the changing room?
Suutari huomasi, että kengän kantapää on rikki ja toisessa kengässä on pieni reikä.
The cobbler noticed that the heel of the shoe is broken and that there is a small hole in the other shoe.
Jos reikä kasvaa vielä isommaksi, suutari vaihtaa kenkään myös uuden pohjallisen.
If the hole gets even bigger, the cobbler will also replace the insole in the shoe.
Kun suutari on korjannut kengät ja ompelija on ommellut napin kiinni, arki tuntuu heti helpommalta.
When the cobbler has repaired the shoes and the seamstress has sewn the button on, everyday life immediately feels easier.
