Very simplified: Finnish (and Estonian) belong to the Uralic language family and are thus not akin to any other language known "in Europe" (Indo-European). Hungarian is Uralic, too. Of course there are loanwords but the whole grammar and structure is different as you might have noticed. Most people are unaware of this and assume all languages in Europe are Indo-European.
You can see all Uralic languages on the following map:
