As many modern and ancient thinkers, such as Paustovsky, Gorky, Kovalenko, Merime, said, the Russian language is really inexhaustibly rich, great, powerful, and with its help it is possible to express any idea, describe any object or phenomenon. Any foreigner, and even one who has been teaching this language since childhood, can confirm this. Therefore, the topic of today's article is the longest words in the Russian language, their origin, meaning, as well as the possibility of their compilation.
The longest words of the Russian language must be searched for by the criteria. That is, to take into account the case, number, part of speech, the presence of a hyphen, even the origin of the word. For example, in 1993, the Guinness Book of Records proclaimed the word "X-ray electrocardiographic" the longest word in the Russian language. This is a word form in the genitive, and the number of letters in it is thirty-three. Already in 2003, it was replaced by a token in the nominative case, consisting of thirty-five characters, “highly parsing”, although the form of the same word in the genitive case would be two characters longer.
You can also combine word forms and, thus, get the longest words in Russian. For example, "methoxychlorodiethylaminomethylbutylaminoacridine" is a yellow crystalline powder, in other words, acrychine. To this huge word (44 characters), you can add the ending of the plural of instrumental case. Then you get a noun of 47 characters - "methoxychlorodiethylaminomethylbutylaminoacridines".
Or take the word "hexacosiohexecontaghexaparascavedecathriaphobia" - this is the fear of the devilish number 666 on Friday the thirteenth. We can just add the ending in exactly the same way and we get the word as many as 50 characters - "hexacosiohexecontaghexaparascavedecathriaphobia."
In addition, there are words that are simply not registered in ordinary dictionaries because of their triviality. It is a prefix way of forming new word forms. For example, “four hundred and eighty-four kilograms” or “prapraprapraprapraprapraprapraprapraprapraprapraprapaddy”. In this case, the longest words in the Russian language can be listed endlessly. And if you can take the word abbreviations, then there
NIIOMTPPLOBOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBORMONIMONKONOTDTEHSTROYMONT. This abbreviation of one research laboratory consists of as many as 56 characters. But again, the abbreviation can come up with absolutely any and absolutely any length.
The longest words in Russian were presented to your attention. As you can see, there are a lot of them, but you can rarely find such in dictionaries or hear in oral speech , they are used only in specialized literature.
All languages have the longest words. In Russian, in German, Italian, Arabic and so on. But the longest word of the world came from English. It consists of 1916 characters and indicates a chemical compound. And
the longest name is a certain Mr. Jodd from Honolulu. It translates as "the wonderful aroma of a native home, located at the pearl mountain, is extolled to the eyes of heaven."
