Talk:Mr Puntila and His Man Matti

Puntila OR Puntilla?
You have to decide between Puntila AND Puntilla! 88.192.241.146 (talk) 22:05, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Actually, neither is correct Finnish. "Puntila" is a plausible name, but in Finnish, it would usually rather be "Punttila" with a double t. "Puntilla", OTOH, is completely wrong. Most Finns wouldn't even recognise it as a Finnish name, thinking it was Spanish. What is the correct name of the German play? Is it spelled "Puntila" or "Punttila"?
