The word for blue sounds like the Russian word for blue- синий

[SammyTheHedhehog]

brown = ruskea ? Do the Finnish people hate this colour? :D

[Triquos]

This is great, thanks!

[rosca20]

why is the word for pink so small? hehehe

[lgblgblgblgb]

Because it means "pale red" at least with word-by-word translation :) Pink in Hungarian is "rózsaszín" which means (literally, again): "rose-colour".

[callmestef]

but i think estonian sounds better :D

Finnish is really different from the other Scandinavian languages.

[callmestef]

yea because finnish is not from germanic language family it is from finougric family..it looks more like estonian

[eirin799]

uralic-baltic?

[callmestef]

Mmm no Fino-Ugric languages includes Finnish, Estonian and Hungarian. Estonian is the only language related to Finnish. The Baltic family doesn't include Estonian, in the baltic languages there are Latvian and Lithuanian.

[eirin799]

ahh, thanks for the clarification. :D i ought to study more about language, heh.

[SammyTheHedhehog]

[SammyTheHedhehog]

@7184610369 The other Scandinavian languages are Germanic, Finnish is not even indo-european.
