The Nordic Languages

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

Actually we should also mock Estonian, as it is very similar to Finnish
Batman in Estonian is "nahkhiiremees" (wtf ), literelly meaning bat man, although Batman (pronounced Bätmän) is actually used in regular talk
Hockey is "jäähoki"
Birth is "sünnitamine"
Football is "jalgpall", literally meaning foot ball
Volume is "helitugevus", meaning sound strength
Ingredient is "koostisosa", meaning ingredient part

In hungarian Hockey is "jéghoki", Birth is "születés", Volume is "hangerő" (which also means "sound strenght")
Maybe it's just a coincidence, but seems like some words are still look a bit similar in these two languages.

[M4rkus]

That's because both languages belong to the Finno-Ugric language group.

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

Of course. I know. It's just interesting.

[ZelvaCZ]

They are from the same language group, but it's like comparing for example German and French..
They share some grammar, but when it comes to vocabulary, there's not a lot of similarities.
Hungaria kéz - Finnish käsi (hand)
Menni - mennä (to go)
And I'm sure you can find more if you want. However, the two languages split up a long tim ago, so they are more different than e.g. English and Dutch..

EDIT: now I realized you were talking about Estonian and Hungarian, not Finnish and Hungarian.. but it's almost the same relation since Finnish and Estonian are relatively similar to each other..

EDIT2: found an interesting article about the similarity: http://www.histdoc.net/sounds/hungary.html

[Arvidsson-Källqvist]

I know about these mate. I'm native hungarian speaker, and we did learn about this. It just caught my attention that some newer words were similar too, which I did not knew about. Like "jäähoki - jéghoki". (But probably just becouse of the prefix Jää, let me guess: Jää means Ice, right? )

[Dannu]

Yes. Jää is ice.
