What's the longest word of your language?

I'm just curious to know them!

The longest French word is anticonstitutionellement, which means, basically, in-a-way-that-is-against-the-constitution

I don't even know what's the longest English word! I have to know!

 

Possibly antidisestablishmentarianism, which is the longest word that has all the vowels in order.

 

No, it's pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, which is a lung disease and 45 letters long.

 

In Germany, there is no longest word - you can combine as much nouns as you want by just hanging them one to another, for example, Donaudampfschifffahrtsgesellschaftsgeschäftskostenüberprüfungsbeauftragter would mean "Person in charge of the controlling of the business money at the Danube steam shipping society" - you can play that game without an end



(I see there's a space between "..kosten" and "über..." - don't know why, it should all be one word )

 

wow... that's IMPOSSIBLE to pronounce!! It's really huge. I wonder what's the longest word of the world...

 

As I said, there's at least one language (->German) in whcih you can combine as much words as you want, so there's no longest word

 

wow... that's IMPOSSIBLE to pronounce! It's really huge. I wonder what's the longest word of the world...

 

That's crazy!

 

But, maybe there's actually a longest word that isn't a combination of several words?

 

OK, this may be... I'll try to google

 

cekoslavakyalilastiramadiklarimizdan misiniz?


which means: are you among the ones that we have failed to make czechoslavakian.

ops, just searched the net and found this one:

muvaffakiyetsizleþtiricileþtiriveremeyebileceklerimizdenmiþsinizcesine
(70 letters)
it means smthng like:

it looks as if you are one of the people that we may fail to render unsuccessful.

 

I googled and I found the following:

The longest word of the world still in use is the Swedish

Sparrangsaktiebolagsskensmutsskjutarefackföreningspersonalbeklädnadsmagasinsförradsföraltaren

with 93 letters

In German, it has 83 letters and means

Trambahnaktiengesellschaftsschienenreinigergewerkschaftsbekleidungsmagazinverwalter

I'll try to translate it in English, it means something like "Person in charge of the cloth depot of the tram(streetcar?)-corporation's rail-cleaner labour union"

 

lol it's insane... it's so incredibly long, I don't know how people can actually remember how to spell those words! It would be more simple if they cut it into several little ones

 

sorry
who did you say he was?

(maybe it's a She bcuz then it gets the suffix IN)

 

???? What the hell do you want to say?

 

lol I don't get it either!

 

Lopadotemachoselachogaleokranioleipsanodrimhypotrimmatosilphioparaomelitokatakechymenokichlepikossyphophattoperisteralektryonoptekephalliokigklopeleiolagoiosiraiobaphetraganopterygon




that appears in a greek play by Aristophanes..its 170 letters long..but its a combination of like 18 ingredients that make up one dish.

There are also a lot of scientific words that that have hundreds of letters, but i dont know if i'd consider those real words.

 

The longest chemical word has 1913 letters but I couldn't yet figure out what it exactly is... but it is a combination, and as we said this can't really count. I just found a webiste who wants to create the longest German word, it can be found here http://arminundivo.ch/cgi-bin/lw.pl and has 20024 (!!!) letters, but as far as I can see it doesn't make sense any more

 

As if that conversation had taken place in real life.
Like you tell that word and the guy u talkin to says

i peg yo pardon?
then u gotta repeat it


and about the suffix:

Lehrer
Lehrerin (note that this word is longer)

 

Ahhhhh, now I understand And yes, female suffixes make words longer in German
