Heh heh! Very nice.
Finnish and Hungarian are actually "genetically" related in a linguistic sense... though very very distant. Like English and Russian.
Hungarian and Turkish are not related, but being agglutinating they are structurally similar and Hungarian has enough Turkish loan words that visiting a Turkish open-air market might just be a somewhat eerie experience for a discerning Hungarian.
