Oh, and what about the longest words?

In italian it's "precipitevolissimevolmente" (= more or less "really in a hurry" ) while in russian iirc it's "достопримечательностами" (dostoprimechatel'nostami = "with things worth being noted" )

 

[Pashen'ka]

exactly!!! Bravo Pasha!

what work?

I'm gonna have to think about that longest word.. This thread gets me thinking

 

[Royal-Galliano]

Amazing words! I don't know which word is the longest in Czech, but I remember how we repeated the word "nejkulaťoulinkatější" in the childhood... who knows if it's the longest

 

[Royal-Galliano]

what work?

You don't remember?

You said you've got some work to complete till tomorrow!

I just found very interesting site about Czech words!!!

and the longest word is

nejzdevětadevadesáteroneroznásobitelnějšími

^see, that does sound like something the caterpillar in alice in wonderland would say

I still can't say that spanish tonguetwister without having to stop

I can say it smoothly until the 4th line...then it comes natural to me to say "que lo desarzobispoconstantinopolice" instead than "que lo desconstantinopolice" and I have to stop...

The most difficult italian tongue-twister imho is this one: it looks simple, but it ain't so

"Tre tigri contro tre tigri" (= three tigers against three tigers)

The problem is, after all those "tr" and "gr", it's difficult not to say "tRigri" at the end... (note that having a problem with the pronounciation of "r" as I have, doesn't really help either...)

 

[Pashen'ka]

nejzdevětadevadesáteroneroznásobitelnějšími

p.s.
I managed to say it...

What does that mean?

 

[stersita]

"Tre tigri contro tre tigri" (= three tigers against three tigers)

Similar one in spanish too Tres tristes tigres triscaban trigo en un trigal I always say tRigres

Oh and I was thinking about that longest word thing, does Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious count?

 

[Royal-Galliano]

^

with those tigers...

we have

Šel pštros se pštrosicí a s malými pštrosáčaty

it means "A male ostrich with a female ostrich and with the little ostriches went"

OMG

Nope! The word must have a sense...

Otherwise we could count also a Celentano song title:

"Prisencolinensinainciusol"

(which doesn't mean anything, the whole song ain't but a weird attempt to sound as if he was talking in english - while he isn't actually saying anything at all...)
