English is not my "mother tongue" if this expression is used, so I`m asking you if you could help me with words, as long as possible ending in y (city is not long:P)
it`s hard to search in the dictionary endings of words..thx

By searching at morewords.com I found 127 words ending with y that are at least 18 letters long. I am not sure you will find these very useful, but here they are. If you want something a little different, I've included directions at the end of this.
27 letters - 1 word:
* electroencephalographically
25 letters - 1 word:
* immunoelectrophoretically
24 - 2 words:
*electrocardiographically, microelectrophoretically
22 - 5 words:
* electroencephalography, electrophysiologically, intercomprehensibility, microspectrophotometry, spectrophotometrically
21 - 9 words:
* antiferromagnetically, clinicopathologically, dendrochronologically, electromyographically, intersubstitutability, photolithographically, psychophysiologically, psychotherapeutically, stereomicroscopically
20 - 18 words:
* chemotherapeutically, counterrevolutionary, crystallographically, existentialistically, immunocytochemically, immunohistochemistry, indistinguishability, microphotometrically, neurophysiologically, neuropsychiatrically, overenthusiastically, photoautotrophically, plethysmographically, psychopathologically, roentgenographically, syncategorematically, ultramicroscopically, uncharacteristically
19 - 41 words:
* anthropocentrically, anthropomorphically, characterologically, chromatographically, cinematographically, conceptualistically, contradistinctively, counterinflationary, crosslinguistically, electrocardiography, electromagnetically, electromechanically, electrophoretically, electroretinography, exhibitionistically, expressionistically, extralinguistically, extraterritoriality, histopathologically, historiographically, hypersusceptibility, immunocytochemistry, impressionistically, incomprehensibility, individualistically, interconvertibility, interdepartmentally, interferometrically, microelectronically, multidimensionality, nonrelativistically, otorhinolaryngology, overproportionately, paleogeographically, parthenogenetically, pharmacodynamically, phenomenalistically, phytogeographically, psychotomimetically, symptomatologically, unconstitutionality
18 - 50 words:
* anthropocentricity, autobiographically, characteristically, claustrophobically, collectivistically, counterintuitively, disproportionately, distinguishability, electrooculography, electrophotography, geochronologically, histocompatibility, hypercoagulability, incommensurability, inconsequentiality, indiscriminatingly, interchangeability, intraventricularly, magnetostrictively, metallographically, microcrystallinity, neuroendocrinology, ophthalmologically, oscillographically, overoptimistically, phenomenologically, photosynthetically, propagandistically, psychoanalytically, psychopharmacology, quantificationally, representationally, roentgenologically, sedimentologically, semiconservatively, semiprofessionally, semiquantitatively, somnambulistically, spectrofluorometry, spectrographically, spectroheliography, stereospecifically, stoichiometrically, submicroscopically, tachistoscopically, transformationally, ultracentrifugally, ultrarevolutionary, unconstitutionally, unenthusiastically
Then the lists become VERY long! So I will just list the number.
17 (147 words)
16 (269 words)
15 (419 words)
To see those words that are 15, 16 or 17 letters long, or others that are not quite that long, this is how you can find them
1) Go to this web site:
http://www.morewords.com
2) In the search box, type a set of dashes, followed by y. For instance, if you want 10-letter words, type nine dashes followed by y.
3) Press "Search for words" and the page will give you a list of the words of that length that end with y.

General rules: if it ends in "ly" it is an adjective, otherwise, ending in "y" has good chance of being a noun. To make plural "ies" replaces the "y"

'mother tongue' is understandable, but 'native tongue' is more commonly used. need any more nouns ending in 'y' today?
btw
quailman said
"invulnerability is an adjective
civility is an adjective
insanity is an adjective"
but they really are all nouns. not people, places, or things, but ideas, which are still nouns.

Hope this helps. Notice the suffixes common. -ly, -ity Sometimes you can look up words by common suffixes. (suffixes - the ending)
