     Магнэ́зія не дапамагла́, бэнзі́н — такса́ма, а крэ́йда не забялі́ла іх. Палкоўніца вярну́ла Швэ́йку нагаві́цы, знайшоўшы, што яны́ дрэ́нна вы́чышчаны.

     Mahnézija nje dapamahlá, benzín — taksáma, a kréjda nje zabjalíla ix. Palkóŭnica vjarnúla Švéjku nahavícy, znajšóŭšy, što janý drénna výčyščany.

     Magnesia didn't help, neither did gasoline, chalk also failed to whiten them. The female colonel handed the pants back to Švejk after having assessed that they hadn't been cleaned properly.
