As many modern and ancient thinkers, such as Paustovsky, Gorky, Kovalenko, Merimee, said, the Russian language is really inexhaustibly rich, great, powerful, and with its help it is really possible to express any thought, describe any object or phenomenon. Any foreigner, and even those who have been learning 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 possibilities of their compilation.
The longest words of the Russian language must be searched according to the criteria. That is, 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 "roentgenoelectrocardiographic" as the "longest" word in the Russian language. It is a word form in the genitive case, andthe number of letters in it is thirty-three. Already in 2003, it was replaced by a lexeme in the nominative case, consisting of thirty-five characters, "highly contemplating", 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, quinacrine. To this huge word (44 characters), one can also add the plural ending of the instrumental case. Then you get a noun of 47 characters - "methoxychlorodiethylaminomethylbutylaminoacridines".
Or take the word "hexakosioyhexekontahexaparaskavedekatriaphobia" - this is the fear of the devilish number 666 on Friday the thirteenth. We can just add the ending in the same way and get a word of as many as 50 characters - "hexakosioyhsekontahexaparaskavedekatriaphobia".
Besides, there are words that are simply not registered in regular dictionaries because of their triviality. We are talking about the prefix method of forming new word forms. For example, "four hundred and eighty-four kilograms" or "great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather". In this case, the longest words in Russian can be listed endlessly. And if you can consider the word as an abbreviation, then there is
NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBORMONIMONKONOTDTEHSTROYMONT. This is the abbreviation of one research laboratory consists of as many as 56characters. But again, you can come up with absolutely any abbreviation and absolutely any length.
The longest words in the Russian language have been presented to your attention. As you can see, there are a lot of them, but you can rarely find them in dictionaries or hear them 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 in the world came from English. It consists of 1916 characters and denotes a chemical compound. And the longest name is a certain Mr. Jodd from Honolulu. It translates as "the beautiful aroma of the native home, located by the pearl mountain, is ex alted to the eyes of heaven."
