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”?

    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.
