What's the meaning of 'kappale'?

Just like laatikko, kappale is a word with many meanings. You can check it out from Kielitoimiston sanakirja, but I'd say that these are the most common meanings:

• Tämä on hyvä kappale! - This is a good song!
• Mä en tykkää tästä kappaleesta. - I don't like this song.

A part of a text

• Missä kappaleessa me ollaan? - In which paragraph are we?
• Voitko lukea ensimmäisen kappaleen? - Can you read the first paragraph, please?
• A chapter is usually kappale in a school text book, and luku in a novel.

An object,  a copy of something
