What do you call a priest that’s also a lawyer?

A father in law.

I don't think they translate very well. It's all about languages.
And, BTW, Google translate doesn't work well with Finnish.
They are different grammatical cases with possessive-suffixes, "question-postposition" (-ko, -kö) and another postposition meaning something like "even" (-kaan, -kään).
Koirattammekokaan = even without our dog?
Koira (base) -tta (abessive) -mme (our) -ko (question) -kaan (even)
Finnish has 15 grammatical cases.

Sanskrit is an Indo-European language, but Finnish belongs to a completely different language family, so it naturally seems weird to English-speakers and most Europeans.

Yes, Finnish is part of the Uralic language group. Sanskrit just has the largest number of cases of the Indo European group of which I'm aware. Sino Tibetan and Turko Altaic groups are also simpler, in general. Japanese is complicated by many different degrees of respect that changes the verbs.

I think Finnish is complexity champ afaik.

The most complex language that I know of is the Bantu language Kivunjo, which Steven Pinker describes in "The Language Instinct":

The verb “Naikimlyiia,” meaning “He
is eating it for her,” is composed of eight parts:
• N-: A marker indicating that the word is the “focus” of
that point in the conversation.
• -a-: A subject agreement marker. It identifies the eater as
falling into Class 1 of the sixteen gender classes, “human
singular/' (Remember that to a linguist “gender" means
kind, not sex.) Other genders embrace nouns that pertain
to several humans, thin or extended objects, objects that
come in pairs or clusters, the pairs or clusters themselves,
instruments, animals, body parts, diminutives (small or
cute versions of things), abstract qualities, precise locations, and general locales.
• Present tense. Other tenses in Bantu can refer to today,
earlier today, yesterday, no earlier than yesterday, yesterday or earlier, in the remote past, habitually, ongoing,
consecutively, hypothetically, in the future, at an indeterminate time, not yet, and sometimes.
• -ki-: An object agreement marker, in this case indicating
that the thing eaten falls into gender Class 7.
• -m-: A benefactive marker, indicating for whose benefit
the action is taking place, in this case a member of gender
Class 1.
• -lyi-: The verb, “to eat.”
• -1-: An “applicative” marker, indicating that the verb’s cast
of players has been augmented by one additional role, in
this case the benefactive. (As an analogy, imagine that in
English we had to add a suffix to the verb bake when it
is used in I baked her a cake as opposed to the usual I
baked a cake.)
• -a : A final vowel, which can indicate indicative versus
subjunctive mood.

I've heard that Navajo is not easy either.

BTW, I don't really know the relationship between Finnish and Estonian (to some extent, Finns and Estonians can understand each other), but I've been told that the language family contains just 2 members: Finnish and Hungarian.
Finnish and Hungarian don't look at all similar, but I've heard that the structures of the languages are quite similar.
