They are very different but same time very similar as native Finnish speaker it was allways pretty surreal when visiting Hungary I could ask about places like Bajcsy-Zsilinszky and people would undestand me.
Thanks! My understanding was that even these grammatical similarities (between Hungarian and Finnish) could be somewhat coincidental.
Nonetheless, in casual usage modern Finnish and Hungarian are completely different. The similarities are revealed only by an advanced study of the grammar and the comparison of the entire vocabularies. (Dis)similarity of an individual term is meaningless.
