The longest word…./ Nejdelsi slovo…

the longest word google imageCan you guess which language has the longest word? Just to let you know, I disregarded all the chemical names.

CZ: Ktery jazyk ma nejdelsi slovo, anglictina nebo cestina? Mozna, ze to uz vite, ale kdo to nevi (nebo se nad tim jeste nikdy nezamyslel), zde jsou vysledky:

  • English: antidisestablishmentarianism ( = opposition to the disestablishment of the Church of England)
  • Czech: nejnedoobhospodařovávatelnějšího (= the most maintained one, as far as farming goes)

The English word has 28 letters while the Czech one has 32 letters – the Czech language won! But I got to tell you if the Czechs did not have declinations we would be cutting it short here!

If you liked this post buy me a coffee! (Suggested:$3 a latte $8 for a pound) Thanks!

Hmmm, ja myslim, ze to “do” v ceskem nejdelsim slove nema smysl. Ja vzdy znala jen “nejneobhospodarovavatelnejsiho”, co je “doobhospodarovat”?

Asi budu muset vyhrabat na internetu nejaky slovnik :)

Myslim, ze to “do” tam signalizuje konec deje? Jako ‘doobhospodarovat”? Je fakt, ze jsem to nasla na Myczechrepublic.com forumu, tedy nebylo to ze slovnikoveho zdroje.
