Longest Finnish Word

[soila8]

no hahaha apua kuinka vaikeeta....

[TeePur]

It's not hard to learn the words, but to speak it properly.. Pronouncing correctly.. Try it out yourself. Extremely hard.

[SuperWee13]

lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottor­iapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppila­s is longest :D

[Skelros]

finnish is not that hard to learn, its just different to what most people are used to

[xxlaurax92x]

And to be more clear as a Finnish person English has never been too hard for me, it's easy to learn... But French... I've been studying it for years but its still difficult because its so different comparing to my native language. Then again South European people don't have as much difficulties with French or other languages in that area because they are so similar but for them English might be hard. This is just my opinion though..

[xxlaurax92x]

People there isn't a correct answer to question "which language is the hardest one to learn". There is huge list of languages that are harder to learn than others. This list contains for example Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Arabic, Cantonese, Japanese and Polish. The first 3 ones are among the hardest because of the countless noun cases and they are hard to pronounce because of the long tong twisting consonants.In my opinion different cultures find different languages more difficult than others

[soni1130]

Let's add all Dravidian languages to the agglutinative group too...I am a native Tamil speaker, and Finnish verb endings (?) sound so natural and intuitive to me. I'm not a linguist and it was quite a nice shock to discover this trait shared by other languages as well :)

[slawek15]

@chenkuuuu I'm a Polish native speaker and I happen to know both Chinese and Japanese which you called world's most difficult. And I can totally assure you they're not. In fact, they're quite easy to learn. Polish on the other hand is much more difficult. I don't speak Finnish, but as a linguist I have enough knowledge to say it's not that bad :) It is difficult, but I wouldn't say it's harder than Polish or Czech. And it's pronunciation is (at least for Polish speakers) quite easy :)

Muvaffakiyetsizleştiricileştir­iveremeyebileceklerimizdenmişs­inizcesine >> Turkish

megszentségteleníthetetlensége­skedéseitekért >> Magyar

The reason is Finnish, Turkish and Magyar are "Agglutinative Languages," meaning most words are formed by joining prefixes or suffixes together.. It is very hard to find irregular verbs in these languages..

tän mä oon oppinu: epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömy­ydelläänsäköhänkään :D

Could someone spell it please ?

[DudeWheresMyComment]

@tigrou35310 epäjärjestelmällisyydenlistitt­ömättömyydelläänsäkäänköhän

[tigrou35310]

@DudeWheresMyComment Thank you ! I hope you didn't spend the day escribing this =)

Now I'm trying to pronunciate it while she's saying it.

[stoicfan]

shit its the hardest? I wanted to move there...fuck it. I'll stay in Canada I guess

[xenaforewer]

@stoicfan No idea, its awesome here in Finland ;)

[gwaur]

Nope. The word is "epäjärjestelmällistyttämättöm­yydellänsäkäänköhän". She said "epäjärjestelmällisyydellistyt­tämättömyydellänsäkäänköhän". The word she said is longer, yes, but it contains one type of conjugation twice, so it doesn't count. :P

Finnish has one of the easiest and most clear grammar in the world its just hard to pronounce for most people.

[lucmasl]

@riittav96 Oletko varma? :-)) Opettelen suomea ja vietin koko tämän kesän Suomessa. Se on hyvin vaikea kieli(varsinkin kielioppi :-), mutta kaunis ja kiinnostava. Ja Suomi on kaunis maa.

[Gleeba77]

@riittav96 I would say it's the other way round lol...the grammar isn't as easy as english for example,but the pronounciation is all fine :D

[Wienerschnitzelchen]

As to the word in the video... I'd like to translate it but I get messed up half way through it.

The significance of that word is that it's a single word, not a combined one (combined words meaning something like, well, the word "something" which consists of 2 words, "some" and "thing".) As it is it's far over 50 characters and you could still add a "-pä" to the end. There's also one single Finnish word of more than 120 characters mentioned in the Guinness book of records, but it's disputable.

[DarkyTheCat16]

Hmm... Pretty good Finnish! How I know? I'm a Finn! Hey, that was like he's a Finn too!

[FinlandFlubber]

Finnish is actuallly no that hard to learn! its english thts the hardest language to learn

[assyyyriaa]

@FinlandFlubber You are COMPLETELY out of track here m8

[jabaash]

@FinlandFlubber

I'll sign you to learn japanese

[VFB1210]

@FinlandFlubber The hardest language to learn thing really depends on your native language and the language you are trying to learn. Judging by your username I'm guessing that you are Finnish. So, it follows that Finnish to you, is very easy. Just like English is very easy for me (an American.) I have a very easy time learning languages from the same family as English, which is the Indo-European language family. Languages like Turkish, Hungarian, and Finnish, are from a completely different

[VFB1210]

@VFB1210 (continued from last) language group known as the Uralic languages. So, you would likely find learning other Uralic languages like Turkish and Hungarian much easier than I would. Likewise, I would probably find learning Indo-European languages (especially Germanic languages) much easier than you would. It really depends where you are coming from and going to, so to speak.

(Although that's not to say English isn't a bastard to learn with its extremely inconsistent rules!)

[Wienerschnitzelchen]

@VFB1210 Turkish isn't related to Finnish at all... the language group of Finnish, Hungarian, Estonian, Livonian, Karelian, Ingrian and a number of local languages in (mostly) north-western Siberia is called Finno-Ugric languages, not Uralic.

What comes to Hungarian, it has the exact same pronounciation as Finnish, but apart from that there are no similarities whatsoever. By chance there's one sentence that's almost the same in both Hungarian and Finnish but apart from that, null.

[VFB1210]

@Wienerschnitzelchen Actually, Finnish is a Uralic language. Finno-Ugric is a subfamily of the Uralic language group, like Germanic is a subfamily of the Indo-European language family.

Though you were right about Turkish and Finnish not being related. I mistakenly thought that Turkish was a Uralic language, it's Altaic. However the Uralic and Altaic do share some similarities. Both have similar phonology, agglutination, and some members of both groups exhibit the same patterns of vowel harmony.

[Wienerschnitzelchen]

@VFB1210 Admittably in other language groups it's usually easy to learn other languages within the group since they have a common structure, but that relates to their close contact throughout history and their close relation within the group, but Finland is, in addition to being geographically isolated from Hungary and Siberia, only closely related to starving languages like Karelian and Ingrian. It only has a far relation to Estonian too, despite Estonian sounding almost like a Finnish dialect.

[riittav96]

@Wienerschnitzelchen Estonian is close relative language. Just learned at school and known before too...

@MOSpr0ductz googlaa -.-

[MOSpr0ductz]

@Matsku195 miksi? epäjärjestelmällistyttämättömy­ydellänsäkäänköhän. mikä tekee tuosta yhdyssanan? perusmuoto on epäjärjestellällisyys, loput vain päätteitä. jos olisit koulussa kuunnellut niin tietäisit tämänkin...

[Matsku195]

@MOSpr0ductz aivan, sittenhän ei tämän videon sana voi olla pisin..

[MOSpr0ductz]

@Matsku195 en väittänytkään? sanoin vain että videon sana on pisin ei-yhdyssana. ja tätä pidempää sanaa ei ole mahdollista, tai ainakaan kovin helppoa keksiä, sillä videon sanassa on käytetty kaikki mahdolliset päätteet ja silti pidetty sana järkeenkäypänä. päätteitä kun ei voi yhtä useammin käyttää samassa sanassa.

[KatZeKrimson]

Finnish was my native tongue so hard or not I really can't say but for me different languages presented different problems. English was harder for me to learn to speak "properly" than others whereabouts Japanese was hard for me to write. And Russian gave me abit of a challenge both ways. So really i think it varies on the person on what is harder to learn

[inaktie]

just as an interesting fact, the longest hungarian word is 470 caracters long, once i wanted to ad it to my facebookpage as "what`s in ya mind" but i couldn`t cause it is too long, of chourse noone use it, but actually the phylosophy of hungarian language is that you dont have describe something but using a word for it, thats the "hoch hungarian" , your talking as literary " hoch" as you use as much of these kind of words as you can.
