Japanese and Finnish

I didn't say it meant anything in Finnish. I don't actually know any Finnish except sataana perkele.
It's just that Japanese phrase sounded extremely like Finnish to my Swedish ears.

Oups, sorry... My bad! ^_^ Anyway, you have a typo in your Finnish words. Um, I'm not gonna translate them, I assume those who need to know are already familiar with these two ah-so-Finnish words. hehe, if you don't mind me correcting, it's saatana. I could say the same that many Mandarin and Japanese words sound like Swedish to me, but it must be because I've been studying Swedish at school.

I love japan but down site is Japanese is very hard language for me

Lithuanian - Japanese coincidental similarities

I've seen many Finns, Estonians and even Swedes who have certain Nordic-Asian looks, especially in their eyes. That look in a lesser extent is also prevalent in Lithuania.

I've also found some (coincidental most likely) similarities between Lithuanian and Japanese languages:

JAPANESE = LITHUANIAN

Kawa = kavoja, slepia (hiding)
Oppai = papai (tits, breasts)
Kande = kanda (bite, bites)
Mushi = muse (bug, fly)
Oshiri = uzhpakalis (butt, behind) (Lit. often pron, as "oshpakalis")
Kochi kochi = kuti kuti (tickling, tickle-tickle)
Katai = kietai, kieta, kietas (hard)
Konki = kantri (patience) (not very similar)
Tairaka = taikinga, taika (peaceful, peace)
Tooi = toli (far) (very similar because our "o" is pronounced long as Japanese "oo")
Wakai = vaikai (kids, young) (wakaa - in West Lithuanian dialect)
Ikimas(u) = ejimas (going)
Ikimasho = eikime (let's go)
Ate = ate (end, bye)
Aishiteru = aistra (Jp: I love you; Lt: passion)
Te = te (JP: hand; LT: take it (command))
Mizu = mizu (myzhu) JP: water; LT: I pee, I take a leak)
Tikyu = tikyu (JP: Earth; LT: I believe)
Jimen = zheme; zhemen (JP: ground: LT: ground; to the ground)
Tsuchi = suodzhiai (JP: dirt; LT: soot) (LT pronounced as: swoji)
Jari = zhvyras (gravel)

Some funny ones:

arimas (JP, grammatical form) = arimas (LT, a ploughed field)
simas (JP, grammatical form) = Simas (LT, male name)
wakarimas (JP, I understand) = vakarejimas (LT, evening is coming; its becoming dark(er))

I know that 55 to 60 percent genome of Lithuanians is related to Finnish and the rest is related to Sanskrit, Greek, Latin and Central European and especially and naturally to Latvian. There's less than 10 percent (maybe more or less) relativity to some kind of East Asian or Greek appearance. There is a suspect that pre-Lithuanians have relations with Ainu in the past. Also, Lithuanian and non-lithuanian Jews have travelled to Japan centuries ago, which could premix in Japanese as well.
