Warum Finnisch?

I was asked why I love Finnish so much, and the answer is far too long to put into an ask.

First of all, the country is extremely beautiful (Like seriously. It's amazing.)

Then also there's the uniqueness factor. I was told once that Estonian is most similar language to Finnish, but the disparity is somewhat large, from what I gather. Apparently danish (the food item) in one means sausage in the other? From what I've heard, Finns and Estonians aren't very compatible linguistically (unlike Portuguese and Spanish speakers).

Then, the grammar. I always like a challenge, and Finnish presents itself as an extremely difficult language to master, grammatically. Unlike Siniatic languages though, for some reason, Finnish just seems much easier to grasp (probably (almost definitely) due to the writing system). The case system, the (lack of) word order, the (lack of) future tense, and the lack of distinction between male and female all make it easier in some instances (such as the cases making understanding of things occurring clearer), and harder in some (such as the FIFTEEN CASES THAT A STUDENT NEEDS TO LEARN). 

The pronunciation of Finnish is absolutely gorgeous. The nuances of words with(/out) double letters is especially befuddling, but it adds to the challenge. It's interesting to have a language that has the stress always on the first syllable, but allowing extra "beats" on other syllables, extending them further than the first. The fact that Finnish has vowel harmony is just the icing on the cake. They have rules to make the language sound pretty!

I may think of something else, but that's pretty much why I like Finnish so much :D
