Finnish language bares no relation (sounds like or has same words) to other living languages than Estonian. (If that's what you meant.) Estonian and Finnish sound the same and we may also have same words which usually unfortunately have a whole different meaning, so without studying we do not easily even understand each other. Other fenno-ugrian languages are so far away from sounding like Finnish that I can't say anything abut their word bending qualities.

Finnish language does, on the other had have a natural word bending in it as the language contains suffixes. Does Afrikaans have this too?

basic form:
mennä = go (to go somewhere)
conjugations:
minä menen = I go
sinä menet = you go
hän menee = she/he goes
me menemme = we go
te menette = you go
he menevät = they go

And to make things more complicated:
(mietin) menemistä = (I pondered) about going
menisinköhän? = I wonder if I should go
(jätin) menemättä = I didn't go (literal translation: I left going)

And then there are the grammatically incorrect ways to bend Finnish words which I happen to love and do. Lots. Also in English.

(I'm sorry, this turned out to be a Finnish language lesson...)

I haven't listened Afrikaans that much but it sure has lots and lots of familiar words in it as it sounds like and probably is a little bit of a mix of English and Dutch which is a mix of German and Swedish and, I don't know, perhaps a little bit of French too. Anyway all languages that I've studied at some point.

I love how Afrikaans sounds! I love the rolling R's (same as in Finnish) and the (I don't know which letter or letter combinations it is) ch or something that seems to come from Dutch, pronounced from the back of the throat perhaps. It is a beautiful language, as you said. And it sounds like a rich, colorful language!

The problem with Afrikaans in my mind is that I find it really hard to recognize the words when someone speaks it (even if I know the meaning of the word). For me it sounds like you're in a terrible hurry and you have to swallow the word before you manage to complete it. Sorry, that's how it sounds sometimes. 😃 I may recognize the words if they are written but it's nearly impossible to understand when spoken. Same with Danish language. Impossible to understand when spoken as the words are pronounced so weirdly. Written Danish is easier, it resembles Swedish very much.

But I think and hope that the culture of word bending is universal and I think people have understood me well or at least enough when I write posts that contain English words that I've molded and bended to my needs.
