What's the longest word in you language?

[Sampsa]

Something similar, but not quite this, has been done before but it was some years ago, according to the search bar.

While trying to locate my notes from the lesson from the day before yesterday I came across a papper that was about mother language and compund words. It stated that longest word in active use in finnish is this: "Suihkuturbuuniapumekaanikkoupseerioppilas", which translates to, "Jet engine assistant mechanic NCO student.

However, if we count the artificial words the longest word in finnish dictionary would be

"kumarreksituteskenteleentuvaisehkollaismaisekkuudellisenneskenteluttelemattomammuuksissansakkaankopahan"
this is done by a professor who wanted to test his limits and it mainly consists of case suffixes (we've got 17 of those). Translation, at least on my level of English, isn't possible and that word doesn't mean anything. That is 103 words by the way.

So out of curiosity, what is the longest word in your language?

My guess is pneumonoultramicroscopicsiliconvolcanoconeosis. Or something like that; I have never known how to spell it. It's an infection of the lungs causes by the inhalation of volcanic ash I think.

The longest non-medical one I know is antidisestablishmentarianism. To the best of my knowledge this means "the act of being against someone who is against establishment".

Antidisestablishmentarianism is supposed to be the longest word in the English dictionary.

In the language: Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl...isoleucine (almost 190,000 letters in total. It's the technical name for titin.)

In the dictionary: Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis

 

[Kasawd]

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanocon

It's a lung disease caused by the inhalation of volcanic ash.

Anticonstitucionalmente, yes that's spanish.
Hipopotomonstrosesquipedaliofobia is a very long word too but I think it's not in a dictionary.

Well, in danish you can keep putting words together to new longer words as long as you like, so in principle the longest danish word is of infinite length!

Beat that!

Superkalafragilisticexpialadocious
Even though the sound of it is really quite atrocious.

 

[KaiRai]

hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia possibly? It's the irrational fear of long words. I'm guessing the guy who camev up with it also invented the term 'lisp' to describe a speech impediment that makes you unable to pronounce the letter s properly.

Guy must have been one hell of a bastard.

All modern words like diseases are "pidgin-ly" made into new Irish words but for proper Irish I'd say one of these three
Neamh-shainchreidmheach = non-denominational
Aerloingseoireacht = aeronautics
Neamhchorrabhuaiseach = nonchalant
There's probably a longer one...

And here I thought that only your way of doing math was weird.
