You're just picking the most random words.

I can do that with Arabic and other unrelated languages, and make some sort of "connections" with the vocabulary.

Give up.

Finnish lusikka comes from Russian "ложка" (lozhka) obviously.
Why do you think so?

You are not alone. The painful theme.

Bashkir – Russian

Spanish word 'hormiga' [an ant] derives from Bashkir word 'ҡырмыҫҡа' (qormisqa or ckirmiscka)[an ant].

How did the Bashkir ants find themselves in Spain?

The Estonian word for spoon is lusikas and that originates from Russian, that is the same and they wrote so in almost every book what is talking about language.

Here is some information what I have found about russian loans in estonian language:

Что касается словарного фонда эстонского языка, то в нём также мало общего со словарным фондом русского языка, как было уже указано выше. Но всё же в эстонском языке имеется довольно много заимствованных слов из древне-русского и русского языков, что свидетельствует о том, что между прибалтийско-финскими племенами и русскими существовали уже в далёком прошлом тесные дружественные культурные и экономические отношения. На это указал уже выдающийся эстонский языковед Михкел Веске в своем труде «Славяно-финские культурные отношения по данным языка» (Казань, 1890). Здесь приведём как примеры лишь некоторые типичные заимствования в эстонском языке из древне-русского и русского языков:

hirs (жьрдь, жердь),
lusikas (лъжька, ложка),
ike (иго),
nädal неделя),
värav (верея, ворота),
und (уда, удочка),
turg (търгъ, торг),
sirp (сьрпъ, серп),
aken (окно),
sahk (соха),
vaba (свободный),
tõlkima (толковать), 'переводить',
raamat (грамота) 'книга',
rist (крьстъ, крест),
kasukas (кожух),
saan (сани),
uulits (улица),
saabas (сапог),
niit (нить) и т. д.

All this means is that the Ottoman Empire salted Romanian with some of its lexicon. (As well as certain grammar elements. I'll let you figure that out.)

Dense - having relatively high density.
[Middle English, from Latin dēnsus.]

The fisrt past of Latin word "dēnsus" [dense] is derived from Bashkir word ‘тән’ (tan) – а body.
The Latin word is more close to the Turkish.
Azerbaijani "tәn" [a body], "bədən" – physique, a body.
Turkish "ten" [a body], "beden" – a torso, a body.

Chinese word 厚 (hòu) [thick, dense] is cognate with Yakut word ”хойуу” (hoyu) [dense] and Khakass word ”хойығ” (hoyigh) – dense.
Slavic words are cognate with Mongolian word "шигүү" (shigüü) – thick, dense.

Estonian "lusi-kas" – a spoon.
Serbo-Croatian "кашика" (kašika) - a spoon.
What do you think about the similarity of Serbo-Croatian and Estonian word?

Well, may be the second parts of these words lusikas and kašika are a bit similar but might that similarity, if it is a similarity at all, be completely occasional as Estonians and Serbo-Coats have not had contacts? Estonians and Finnics in general have had contacts with East-Slavs as they are neighbours what Serbo-Croats certainly aren´t.

And furthermore the phrase was chopped off from both ends : ba/ba +büy/ük = babüy= babua.
Maori (New Zealand) word "рāра" [father, uncle, dad] and Spanish word "papá" [father, dad] are related.
Maori "whakapapa" – genealogy, genealogical table.
The first part of this word perhaps is related to the Burmese word ဘကြီး (bhakyee) – an uncle.

Turkish word 'baba' [father] also is related to Zulu word 'baba' [father, dad; mister, sir] and Swahili word 'baba' [father, (paternal) uncle; ancestor, forebear; patron, protector].
