what is the longest word and its meaning?

Answer 1

The longest word in any major English language dictionary is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis, a 45-letter word supposed to refer to a lung disease, but research has discovered that this word was originally intended as a hoax. It has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended context, lending at least some degree of validity to its claim. See the separate article for details.

The Guinness Book of Records, in its 1992 and subsequent editions, declared the "longest real word" in the English language to be floccinaucinihilipilification at 29 letters. Defined as "the act of estimating (something) as worthless", its usage has been recorded as far back as 1741. In recent times its usage has been recorded in the proceedings of the United States Senate by Senator Robert Byrd [1], and at the White House by Bill Clinton's press secretary Mike McCurry, albeit sarcastically. It is the longest non-technical word in the first edition of the Oxford English Dictionary.

Many people would argue this isn't a real word, but I disagree. A word becomes a word when it is understood and/or used by a large percentage of the population.

This word has been in the English Language for several decades now, and it is almost uninanamously understood in the United States. Being a fan of the movie Marry Popins, when I was kid I use to use the word and so did other children just for fun, but millions of children and parents understood the word and what the child was trying to convey about thier feelings.

Answer 3

In case your interested, here is a Turkish word:

Afyonkarahisarlılaştıramadık larımızdanmısınız?

meaning: Aren't you one of those people whom we tried, unsuccessfully, to make resemble the citizens of Afyonkarahisar?

I only put the space in so it would print the whole word.

Answer 4

In English - probably 'floccinaucinihilipilification - the act of estimating as worthless - but I bet someone will know better, and some other languages can certainly beat it for length.
