Despite the geographical location of Finland, Finnish is not closely related to the Scandinavian languages, but to other Finnic languages, such as Estonian and Karelian.
Finnish is an agglutinative language, which means that words are formed by adding various endings to the word stem.
The Finnish language is known for its complex case system, but on the other hand, word order in Finnish is quite free, which makes it easier to form sentences.
