Finnish is FSI Category III/IV — about 1,100 hours for proficiency. It has 15 noun cases, no grammatical gender, no future tense, no articles, vowel harmony (back vs front vowels can't mix in a word), and consonant gradation. Pronunciation, however, is very regular: every letter sounds the same, stress is always on the first syllable, and vowel length is contrastive (tuli 'fire' vs tuuli 'wind').
Finnish is highly agglutinative: a single noun like talossanikinko ('also in my house?') stacks talo + ssa + ni + kin + ko (house + in + my + also + question). Verbs work the same way, with mood, person, tense and clitic particles strung onto the stem. LingoBear's tap-to-translate breaks these long forms down so you can see the building blocks.
