I'm sorry, this may seem a bit like nit-picking, but some of the
Finnish words have been given wrong(ish) translations into English.
(I can't say anything about the Hungarian, or the equivalence between
the two lexical items).

"kota" is actually the name for a teepee-like dwelling; (I don't know
if this meaning has changed, but...)
The word for "house" in Finnish is "Talo".

"lintu" means "bird" in Finnish, not "goose".
"goose" is "hanhi" in Finnish.
