haha WHEN did I become famous? Overnight? :p
Which makes me wonder then, will you be able to understand a Hungarian when he speaks? Like I can understand a German, and a Spaniard can understand Portuguese and Italian people?
I live in Mexico temporarily and discovered that the phonetic part of the Mayan language is very close to the Asian languages. And many Mexicans have similar features as Asians (eyes, cheekbones etc)
I find that so interesting! I wonder when it was that different nations came into contact with each other etc. Maybe I should have studied history :p
Anyway, thanks you for your help! :) |

no we can't at all really! the word and sentence structures are somewhat similar, but yet the languages differ so greatly that we can't understand each other! but estonians and us finns can understand each other somhow, but not THAT well though! estonian is very similar to finnish, a lot more than hungarian at least but it still differs quite a lot from finnish IMO at least. but finnish, hungarian and estonian are pretty much unique, like no other languages in the world, except for some small languages spoken by only a village of people somewhere or something like that. |

| Hungarian would be totally impossible to understand based from knowledge in only Finnish. The both languages must have been developing a lot in their own directions, and their common roots are way back in time. Estonia and Finland though have a more close geographical connection, and I think it's quite understandable that these two languages have stayed at least a bit the same. But I still suppose, that mostly when an Estonian and a Finn discuss with each other, they do it in English (can anybody confirm this please). |

I cannot understand Hungarian. Yes I have to admit that some phonetics in different cultures reminds others.
My pleasure :) |
