What is the family name of the brothers?

[edit]

I cannot figure it out. from fi-wiki, "fi:Jukola" appears to be the name of the manor they live. In some google traslations the brothers are called "Jukkola's brothers" and in books I see they are called " brothers from Jukola". - Altenmann >talk 19:05, 12 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It seems that Aleksis Kivi didn't give them a surname. The novel is set in the early 19th century, and many Finnish peasants didn't have surnames back then. See this related article in the Kielikello [fi] magazine. See also Finnish surname. --JAAqqO (talk) 00:10, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I am asking in relation to Jukola relay page. I made the following change, but then I decided to double-check and undid my change. So, from what you are saying, my edit was correct and I have to restore it, right? - Altenmann >talk 01:53, 13 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
