अनुबाद - फिनल्यान्डी-अंग्रेजी - Väin joka toinen kuollee tupakkaan.

Hi Elwingda

There seems to be a word missing from the English version to make it readable.

"Only every other" what dies of cigarettes"

Do you mean, "Only every other person dies from smoking cigarettes"?

That is strange, there really is a word missing.
I very much apologise for that, it should indeed be "every other person"

//Elwingda

No problem Elwinga

Could you edit your translation, then I will set a poll. I don't speak any Suomi, so I will ask our Finnish community for a hand.

Hi

I have set a poll

Vain joka toinen kuolee tupakkaan

Kuollee on potentiaali, joten lauseessa pitäisi olla varaus ehkä. Maybe dies.

Yes, potential should be included in the translation. F.ex. "...dies of smoking, maybe."

If you read the comments below the original text, you'll see that there is nothing dialectal in the sentence - just two mistakes/typos. I hope the original would be changed to:
"Vain joka toinen kuolee tupakkaan."
Please erase the remarks, too.

Then there is no need for "maybe" in the translation and it is fine like it is.

Vain joka toinen henkilö kuolee tupakan polttamisesta.

My suggestion:
Only every second person might be death/ might die by smoking cigarettes.
"Kuollee" ei ole murteellinen sanonta, vaan sanasta kuolla aktiivi, potentiaali, yks. 3. persoona.

"kuollee" is is kind of -ish form. in my mind the right translation should be "may die"
