      lol no it isnt, it's exactly as far from russian as it is from the scandinavian languages. cos you see, finnish is an uralic language, while scandinavian languages and russian are indoeuropean.

        IIRC a lot of words are borrowed from russian, like niet which comes from the russian nyet, no? maybe my sources are just bad

          sure, and a lot are borrowed from swedish, low german, who knows what. i dont think their word for "no" is borrowed though, nor does it seem to be "niet".
