>Germans call cars "drive things"
"Fahrzeug" is a bit more than cars.
Car more precisely would be Personenkraftwagen (PKW) = "Person power wagon" (opposite to trucks which would be Lastkraftwagen (LKW)) or way more common just Auto(mobil)

And what's your point?

I wish I knew some sami. It's like Klingon but actually a nice language.

I wish I could speak Finnish, my dad can but I never learned.

I had to look up what he meant by 'sorrow bacon' because I couldn't remember the word; it's pretty rare. 'der Kummerspeck' is specifically body fat gained by eating due to worries. 'fat' is simply 'Fett', or sometimes colloquially 'Speck'.
