- 1989, Ніна Маеўская, Холад доннай вады, Мінск: Мастацкая літаратура, page 184:
- Гэ́лечцы да́лі гра́мату. Там, на сцэ́не, яна́ ўсміха́лася сваёю чароўнаю белазу́баю ўсме́шкаю, кры́шку мане́рна, нібы́ арты́стка ківа́ла галавою, дзя́куючы за воплескі. Ах, вялі́кая арты́стка! А ў се́ктары яна́ шпурну́ла гра́мату, гэ́ту — як яна́ назва́ла — «нікчэ́мную папе́рку», разрыда́лася: «другі́м па тры́ццаць рублёў да́лі, а мне гэ́ту нікчэ́мную папе́рку, хай возьме яе сабе́, бу́дзе што за труною не́сці».
- Hélječcy dáli hrámatu. Tam, na scénje, janá ŭsmixálasja svajóju čaróŭnaju bjelazúbaju ŭsmjéškaju, krýšku manjérna, nibý artýstka kivála halavóju, dzjákujučy za vópljeski. Ax, vjalíkaja artýstka! A ŭ sjéktary janá špurnúla hrámatu, hétu — jak janá nazvála — “nikčémnuju papjérku”, razrydálasja: “druhím pa trýccacʹ rubljóŭ dáli, a mnje hétu nikčémnuju papjérku, xaj vózʹmje jaje sabjé, búdzje što za trunóju njésci”.
- Helečka was given a honorary paper certificate. There, on the stage, she was smiling her charming white-toothed smile, nodding her head with a bit of mannerism like an actress, thanking everyone for the applause. Such a great performer! But back at her department she hurled the certificate away, calling it a "worthless piece of paper", and bursted into tears: "the others were given thirty rubles each, but I got this worthless piece of paper, he'd better take it for himself, at least that'd be something to show off at his funeral."
- 2006, Беларускі гістарычны часопіс[1], 12/2006, Мінск:
- У бягу́чым годзе прэ́міямі адзна́чаны 35 студэ́нтаў, акрамя́ таго, многія атрыма́лі гра́маты і падзя́кі.
- U bjahúčym hódzje prémijami adznáčany 35 studéntaŭ, akramjá tahó, mnóhija atrymáli hrámaty i padzjáki.
- In the current year, 35 students have been honored with monetary awards, beside that, many received honorary paper certificates and words of gratitude.
- (obsolete) letter (a written or printed communication)
Usage notes
editThe difference from сертыфіка́т is that гра́мата is usually only a purely symbolic token of recognition, has no real practical value and holds no legal weight.
