From: "Antti Kurenniemi"
It's a dialogue between a master and his servant. The master is ordering
the servant, who is called "Kokko", to go and build a bonfire for
the midsommer fest, which is also called kokko. To build something is
"kokoo", and to build something up as in a pile of wood is
"kokoon" ("to a pile"). So, the first sentence is
"Kokko, go build up that bonfire for the midsommer fest". And
then the servant asks if he really has to build it all: "koko
kokkoko?" - "the whole thing?". To which the master replies
"Koko kokko!" - "yes the whole thing".
