1. The Hipforums announces it first ever fundraiser. After nearly 30 years online, we must ask our members and guests to help support the website. Thanks to years of ongoing financial support of our members, advertisers and volunteer admin staff, we have been able to keep the forums alive.

    Now we must ask for help as available funds have all been used for our Internet server and other fees.

    So please donate any amount to our PayPal account donate@Hipforum.com to keep the site going. If we can get enough for a few months fees, we won't need to nag you again!

    You could also subscribe to the forums and get an upgrade to Supporter or Lifetime Supporter here

    I think the longest words in the Romanic languages (French, Spanish, Italian...) are not as long as those in the Germanic ones (German, Swedish etc.)...

    But who was his loved one then, of this Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed, and swallowed mountains, known as the land eater, also playing the flute, then? ;)

    I think she sit at the brow of the hill, watched and listened to Tamatea, the man with the big knees, who slid, climbed, and swallowed mountains, known as the land eater, playing his flute :D

    I can just imagine a conversation between Tamatea and his woman:


    She ask him:
    "How was your day like, honey?"

    He answer:
    "hmm, just the usual stuff; I ate some mountains and played my flute. How was your day, sweetheart?" ;)

    In Welsh, as far as I know (I'm only learning it) its Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychchwyndrobyllllantisiliogogogoch. Its the name of a very small town, longest place name in Europe I think.
