Agreed. Ugro-finnic is near free-form insanity, definitely more expressive than slavspeak.

As for how to deal with woody translations - I explicitly look for the backstory of translation. Good translations are often art in their own right, and come from people who are intimately familiar with the work, the author gave explicit permission to make substantial changes to the prose if the situation warrants that. The latter is not common, authors/publishers often don't trust the translators near as much.

When no good translation exists, just stick with english.

1. Finnish- ascend to shitposting godhood, enjoy the Kalevala in the original, and speak the beautiful language of the angels themselves.

Also OP, is fucking childish, thinking that language with weird characters makes it somehow speacial/hard to learn/different.
