This is gonna be fun. Let’s see how my very limited knowledge of Finnish is. Not googling any of these.
fisk / kalastaa -Fish
brød / leipää -bread
øl / olut -some type of beer. There’s a Finnish drinking song with this word in it
vindu / ikkuna -ah, it was the German that gave this one away. Window or opening or something like that
regn / sade- king or royal or something?
en mann / mies - man?
hund / koira -hound/dog
jeg liker du / pidän sinusta - hmmmm...well, minu rakistan sinua I love you...and the sinu root in sinusta must be a variation of that. Jeg I think is referring to the self in Nordic languages...du is you in German...
So it’s got to mean “I like you” or something to that effect

Good work! I had to look up some of the Finnish. When I looked up the days of the week I started laughing. I will say, it's interesting to see even small similarities across the three languages with the loan words over the years.
Thursday / Torsdag / Torstai - Thor's day
Crown / Krone / Kruunu
King / Konge / Kuningas
