Do you have a reason why that is?

Because it's easy to start and hard to Finnish.

So your inability to translate your thoughts to Finnish is why you believe in fake news ?

Finnic languages belong to the indo-uralic sprachbund.

Given that Finnish is a language, and given that humans speak Finnish, and given that native speakers of Finnish have no issue learning other human languages, this is demonstrably not true. Concepts between English and Finnish may not have 1-on-1 matches in terms of English Word A always corresponds to Finnish Word Z, but that is normal and expected.
