Wanna play a game?

Rules :

1. each contestant writes a long word in their native lang ( or one they know ) in this format : [ word ], [ lang ], [ chars count ] - [ approximate or exact translation to EN ]

2. the word must be verifiable in one or other way in the net ( so no freshly made up words r used )

3. u can refine ur answer, but max 3 words per account

The longest of them all wins.

I'll start w/ my 1st try :

непротивоконституционствувателствувайте, BG, 39 - do not be unconstitutional

So size DOES matter, eh?

@netikras always! you know the joke where an IT guy catches the golden byte and he tells him that it can grant him 2 wishes?

the first he wanted was infinite HDD

and the 2nd... after a long thought was another HDD w/ same properties... ;}

This game sucks.

@Sid2006 10x 4 d feedback. ur opinion is valuable 4 us. we will not take it in consideration 4 $ur3 ;p

@We3D that might be infinite slow. should have gone with ssd

@joewilliams007 welp, the joke is old, and no one had updated it ;)

Grundstücks­verkehrs­genehmigungs­zuständigkeits­übertragungs­verordnung, German, 67, A german law concerning the passing of the authority concerning the approval of private roads.

I hope the explanation is correct no garanties though.

English will lose against languages like German and Dutch because we concatenate words to form a new word. Something silly like "airplane altitude meter" in Dutch would be a single word "vliegtuighoogtemeter" the combinations are almost infinite.

Welp can't beat german but has to be done

Llanfair­pwllgwyngyll­gogery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­goch, Welsh, 58, St. Mary's Church in the hollow of white hazel near a rapid whirlpool and the Church of St. Tysilio near the red cave.

Grundstücksverkehrsgenehmigungszuständigkeitsübertragungsverordnung, German, 67 chars, Property transaction permit transfer of responsibility ordinance

Elkelkáposztátlaníthatatlanságoskodásaitokért, Hungarian, 45, for your acting as though were impossible to rid of cabbages

@We3D it's for RAID, right? 😁

@netikras but why ofc.

I would just lose the game.

трудновыговариваемый, russian — “being hard to pronounce”

Easy, longest word according to Guinness world records. Obviously very constructed to be a long word.

@PrinciplesMatt that's some serious count =}

@Demolishun no matter if she is FAT512, still can't kill earth worm Jim +}

Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft, DE, 80 - association for subordinate officials of the main maintenance building of the Danube steam shipping electrical services

@TheSilent what a word, makes me wonder why some random ( or so it seems ) organisations, science or I don't even know phrases got concatenated into 1 word and others don't...

how is that working?

...maybe it's like js. if it's concatable, it will become such...

If we go by the German dictionary "Duden", then the longest word occurring at least 5 times in the dictionary itself is:
Rinderkennzeichnungsfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz, DE, 79 - Cattle indicator meat labeling surveillance task transferal law

If we cheat an just take the longest ones in the dictionary we get:
Neunmilliardeneinhundertzweiundneunzigmillionensechshunderteinunddreißigtausendsiebenhundertsiebzigfache, DE, 104 - 9,192,631,770 fold

And also:
Schauspielerbetreuungsflugbuchungsstatisterieleitungsgastspielorganisationsspezialist, DE, 85 - acting supervision, flight booking extra administration, guest appearance organization specialist

@TheSilent for a silent guy, u r full of interesting facts ( nothing unusual, but still to point it out ;] )

@We3D It depends on how you form the word. You can interlude concatenated words with fillers to make it easier to read. For example:

Gesellschaft für Unterbeamte des Hauptbetriebwerkbaus der elektrischen Donaudampfschifffahrtsorganisation.

Would be a reformulation of the word as a whole using fillers (I don't guarantee 100% accuracy tough).
But as you see that makes the word even longer so I think they opted for one concise word. These words usually arise when there is a very specific thing that you need a word for (Germans can be very specific as you might have guessed). And since the language allows it, you just combine existing words until you have reached the desired specificity.

@hjk101 so basically you don't use spaces in your sentences. got it.

@Wisecrack English does the same thing but not as much, e.g. boyfriend or backpack. And airplane that was already in hjk's example.
