Usages of nilkka
Eilen satutin nilkan puistossa, kun juoksin liian nopeasti.
Yesterday I hurt my ankle in the park when I ran too fast.
Nyt nilkka on turvonnut, joten kävelen hitaasti.
Now the ankle is swollen, so I walk slowly.
Jos nilkka turpoaa lisää, siihen laitetaan side ja jalka nostetaan ylös.
If the ankle swells more, a bandage is put on it and the leg is raised up.
Nilkka on vielä turvonnut, joten en mene ulos.
My ankle is still swollen, so I am not going outside.
Nilkka turpoaa helposti, jos kävelen liikaa.
My ankle swells easily if I walk too much.
Test yourself: What does nilkka mean?
