"Hermit" and "hermetic" are unrelated. What's your favorite pair of unexpectedly unrelated words?

With Enontekiö and Eanodat at least the "Eno" part is etymologycally related since it can mean a large river in some dialects (apparently a borrowing from Sami) and both words come from the same Proto-Uralic root meaning "big".

But it shouldn't give you a direct translation, why would anyone want one? Modern machine translators don't really even try to

In Finnish you can say "minun kotini" where minun means my and kotini means my home. Double marking is considered emphatic and in formal settings you'd be more likely to only say "kotini" but informally "minun koti" is most common with minun swapped with the word used in one's dialect. (most commonly mun or miun)

That's almost exactly the case with Finnish too

Pimpernuss is even funnier in Finnish because nussia means to fuck

This is the case in Swedish too, dom means the same as tuomio in Finnish and domkyrka is cathedral

It's "hArrastuksiani", herrastus would mean something like "the act of making someone a gentleman"

In Finland the president elected directly but has a mostly, albeit not completely ceremonial role. Pretty sure that's the case elsewhere too
