I couldn't find any similarities fromn Hungarian and Finnish. only thing that matches, are letters Ä and Ö, but they're also in Swedish and other scandinavian languages. The onlu language that really sounds like Finnish is Estonia. We even have some same words, they just mean different thing..

Minä olen sininen ankka = I am a blue duck.

And by the way, the thin'g is probably called "Moi Mukulat", Mukula is a child or a brat of stuff. It can also be a plant [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

BTW, i head that Tolkien read 'Kalevala' (The Finnish national saga), and it inspired him to make the elven languages. my friend told me, that JRRT has some story, wich is a straight copy from one story in Kalevala. only the names were changed! Rude guy, he was! [img]smilies/eek.gif[/img]
