Sadri Hamid
Our grandfathers’ stories: In the year 1913
It is Friday in Yañıpar – off homework, a free day.
Boys have gathered there to toboggan
and nobody is late.
Around twenty-five boys,
in some hands: sheet-metal pieces
to sit and glide on – to join in.

Finland Tatar in Journal of Endangered Languages
Finland Tatar language was presented by Sabira Ståhlberg in Journal of Endangered Languages, containing documentation and linguistic analysis of the article by Sadri Hamid on saunas.
Sauna
“Sauna” – what is a sauna? We do not even need to write about that, because it is in the sauna where one sweats with or without whisking, and as we all very well know – the place where we bathe ourselves.
