Hello everybody,

What is  ¨THE LONGEST WORD¨ in the German language?

Because German is an "agglutinative" language, meaning a language in which words are made up of distinct other component of meaning, words can be extremely longs.

Actually, the following word is the longest of European languages:

Donau­dampfschiffahrts­elektrizitäten­hauptbetriebswerk­bauunterbeamten­gesellschaftsdienstjubiläumsanstecknadelverzeichnis, the longest German word has 118 (!) letters

It would be translated in English into 20 words "Association for subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services work-jubilee pins index."

The longest word in German

ENGLISH

Because German is an "agglutinative" language, meaning a language in which words are made up of distinct other component of meaning, words can be extremely longs. Actually, the following word is the longest of European languages :
Donau­dampfschiffahrts­elektrizitäten­hauptbetriebswerk­bauunterbeamten­gesellschaftsdienstjubiläumsanstecknadelverzeichnis (the longest German word has 118 letters)
Translation : Association for subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services work-jubilee pins index

GERMAN

Da Deutsch eine "agglutinative" Sprache ist, dh eine Sprache, in der Wörter aus einer anderen Komponente der Bedeutung bestehen, können Wörter extrem lang sein. Tatsächlich ist das folgende Wort die längste europäische Sprache:
Donau­dampfschiffahrts­elektrizitäten­hauptbetriebswerk­bauunterbeamten­gesellschaftsdienstjubiläumsanstecknadelverzeichnis (Das längste deutsche Wort hat 118 Buchstaben)
Übersetzung : Association for subordinate officials of the head office management of the Danube steamboat electrical services work-jubilee pins index

BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE

Como o alemão é uma linguagem "aglutinativa", significando uma linguagem na qual as palavras são compostas de outro componente distinto do significado, as palavras podem ser extremamente longas. Na verdade, a seguinte palavra é a mais longa das línguas europeias:
Donau­dampfschiffahrts­elektrizitäten­hauptbetriebswerk­bauunterbeamten­gesellschaftsdienstjubiläumsanstecknadelverzeichnis (A palavra alemã mais longa tem 118 letras)
Tradução : Associação de funcionários subordinados da administração da sede do jubileu de trabalho dos serviços elétricos a vapor do Danúbio
