> What popped out immediately when learning the Finnish numbers was how long the words are.
Interestingly, the Estonian numbers are basically the Finnish ones with the last syllable chopped off: üks, kaks, kolm, neli, viis, kuus, seitse, kaheksa, üheksa, kümme.
I think that Estonian, by the virtue of having been in contact with more different languages and cultures, is kind of a "time travel to the future of Finnish language". They seem to have dropped a lot of the unnecessarily complicated endings etc.
