[@bogella2225]

I found the prefixes and suffix system making Indonesian easier to pick up than other languages

[@HenryLoenwind]

Yes, that's interesting. At that point, I so wanted to chime in so hard with a German lesson---German also extensively used prefixes and suffixes. For example, the word "Übertragung" (transfer) that was part of the German example word, consists of the core "trag" (carry), the prefix "über" (over) and the suffix "ung" (noun). So, it's a noun about carrying something over to someone else...exactly what a transfer is. Same construction as the English noun "handover".

Nice, Genesia! You actually taught them the difficult part of Indonesian grammar: affixes. Indonesian language do not have verb conjugation but we have affixes to change the word type from noun to verb, verb to noun, adjective to noun, etc. The ke-an affix make any verb or adjective become noun. For example: berani (brave) - keberanian (courage) bebas (free) - kebebasan (liberty, freedom) malu (shy) - kemaluan (private parts 😂)

Studied Bahasa Indonesia at university in Bonn, basically we pronounce the letters exactly the same with the only two differences that Indonesia only has ß for the s sound and rolls the r (which only some regions in Germany do). The Dutch, who speak a very closely related language, were the colonial power there and they adapted the Latin alphabet from them hence the similarity in pronunciation of the letters and many words we have in common with either the same or closely related meanings (e.g. house is kamar, in German Kammer is a small room). We learned as a rule of thumb that Indonesian was strongly influenced by the different colonial powers that ruled over them with the Indians providing most of the loanwords for spiritual aspects, Arab most of the loanwords for politeness and Dutch most of the loanwords for "modern" concepts, plus of course the modern English influences every language has experienced in the last century

8:31 This word can be longer if you add the enclitic "-nya".. "Ketidakbertanggungjawabannya" "Ke-tidak-ber-tanggungjawab-an-nya" Word formation steps: ◽Consists of 2 root words: "tidak" n "tanggung jawab".. ◽The root word "tanggung jawab" (noun) gets the suffix "ber-" to become "bertanggungjawab" (positive passive verb).. ◽Add the root word "tidak" to become "tidak bertanggungjawab" (negative passive verb).. ◽Add the confix "Ke-an" to "Ketidakbertanggungjawaban" (noun).. ◽Ke-an : Confix.. Consists of the prefix "Ke-" in front of the root word n the suffix "-an" after the root word.. This combination makes it an object/noun.. ◽Tidak : literally means "No".. ◽Ber- : Prefix.. If this prefix is added to the root word, the meaning can be "to do something" or "have something".. For example : 🔸Saya sedang berlari (I'm running).. This "ber-lari" means "to run".. 🔸Mobilku berwarna merah (My car is red or literally means My car has red color).. This "ber-warna" means "has color".. ◽Tanggung Jawab : means "responsibility".. basically this term consists of 2 words: "Tanggung" n "Jawab".. Tanggung means "bear/guarantee".. Jawab means "answer".. Imagine if you were asked by your teacher, "Where is your homework?".. If you answer by showing it then you are responsible.. If you don't answer it, then you aren't responsible.. If this term gets an affix, then the spelling of the two words is connected to "ber-tanggungjawab", not "ber-tanggung-jawab".. This indicates that the word "tanggungjawab" doesn't stand alone but comes from two words that become one term.. ◽-Nya: Enclitic.. Shows third person possessive adjective (His, Her, Its, Their).. So the term "Ketidakbertanggungjawabannya" literally means "His/Her/Its/Their Irresponsibility"..

Genesia, you're incredible! 👍 Not only can you speak multiple languages, but you also understand the grammar! 👏 As a fellow Indonesian, I thank you for pointing out that while our national language is considered one of the easiest languages to learn, the affixes (which consist of prefixes, infixes, suffixes, and confixes) can be challenging for many learners. However, Indonesia is still so much simpler compared to the complex Austronesian patterns found in Philippine languages. I also admire your humility and restraint. I dabble in German, Japanese, and Chinese; but if my skills in those languages were at your level, I'd be insufferably showing off whenever the words were shown and probably trying to one-up the native speakers! 😂

'Rindfleischettiketierungüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz' WAS a law regarding a certain task. But quite some years ago, the task became obsolete, so the law was removed. Hence, technically that word doesn't officially exist anymore, as it was only used for this word. A nice substitute would have been 'Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher'. It's much shorter, but i think not easy to pronounce. It's a device that makes the shell of a soft or hard boiled eggs eggshell break at the determined breaking point, causing a clean cut break so you can take the 'tip' off and eat the egg with a spoon. I promise, that thing is far easier to use than to pronounce.

The "ch" in German can have three different forms of pronouniations. 1. If it follows the vowel "a", "o" or "u", it sounds like a croakily hissed "h" (I don't think there is any english equivalent to that sound, but it gets close to the russian "x"). 2. If it follows the vowel "e", "i", "ä", "ö" or "ü" it sounds somewhat like a very soft "ch" like in "witch" without the "wit" 3. If it is followed by an "s" it sounds like a simple "k", like in "Fuchs", which is pronounced "fooks", "Wachs" ("vaks") or "wachsen" ("vaksen"). But beware, there are a lot of exceptions, like "wachsam" which is not pronounced "vaksam" or "mittwochs" (no "mittvoks").

[@peterfunfstuck8094]

Might be an english word but it is mostly more a mix of greek and latin and except of the ending more used internationally across several languages than language specific imo. The advantage of the chinese writing system is that each 'letter' representing a word the pronounciation can be entirely different on different places and the writing can sill be the same. Hard to come up with a sorting system on the other side. Things to look up something by name like phone books and dictionaries must be very hard to do.

[@toku_u]

With English, especially technological/scientific words, many words are built from Latin or Greek roots which make it hard for an English speaker not in that field to understand the parts. In Chinese, anyone can look at scientific words and deduce the meaning based on the combination of characters that they're already familiar with. As a scientist, I passively learnt lots of Greek and Latin so I can still accurately figure out what new complicated words mean, but you really have to study and be exposed to these concepts to get it.

As mentioned at the start, yes, the real name of Bangkok is กรุงเทพมหานคร อมรรัตนโกสินทร์ มหินทรายุธยา มหาดิลกภพ นพรัตนราชธานีบูรีรมย์ อุดมราชนิเวศน์มหาสถาน อมรพิมานอวตารสถิต สักกะทัตติยวิษณุกรรมประสิทธิ์ (krung-thêep má-hǎa ná-korn amon-rát-dtà-ná goh-sǐn mà-hin-dtrá yút-dtá-yaa má-hǎa dì-lòk páhp nòp-rát-ná raat-cha-thaa-nee buu-ree-rom ú-dom raat-cha-ní-wêht má-hǎa sà-tǎan amon-pí-maan a-wá-dtaan sà-tìt sák-gá dtàt-dtì-yá wít-sà-nú-gam bprà-sìt), or locally กรุงเทพ (krung-thêep). Took me a while to get used to it when I used to live there 😅

I find it funny how ppl think the German word stacking is impractical when it's the exact opposite. It's usually a way to shorten and make what you want to say more precise because it's the exact same just that you leave out everything inbetween like connector words or whatever like "the" or "it" or "and" Etc which would normally be in the sentence. It's just a lot faster and you can just make them up on the go. They aren't really single words they are just a shorter way to express what you want to say with many words. You don't memorize them or anything. You just stack them together as you see fit basically.

[@ashika_5059]

Alr apparently google pronounces pneumonoultramicroscopicailicovolcanoconiosis with a "cone-i-osis" sound at the end instead of a cone-ee-osis sound

[@spicy_sama]

Umm actually the real longest word in English is Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginylisoleucine it is the full Chemical name for Titin 🤓☝️

[@MoreTickle]

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis is a lung disease you get from inhaling volcanic silica, it's not from sawdust, that would be pneumoconiosis, which the word itself is related to.

[@sanjanapanchal8563]

I thought the last Japanese was going to be the jugemu jugemu one that's famous is it considered a longest word tho idk I mean it is from famous rakugo stories and it's much longer but easier to pronounce once u are familiar with Japanese good video tho 😊

[@madhatterdo5458]

Also part of the challenge in German is, that we transfer words from one type to another. So there are nominalizations (meaning a verb is made a noun. verachten -noun-> Verachtung). These also exist in Englisch but imagine that with some already more complicated words. And it doesn't stop there. Words (or parts of it) like "Etikettierungs" already is a kinda stacked word from the nominalization of the word "etikettieren" (to tag), which already originated from the noun "Etikett" ( the tag). Then finally an s is added, to melt it together so monstrous words like "Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz" can be forged in Germanstein's labroratory 😂

[@劉炎-p9z]

I only speak Chinese and English, just to point out a typo in the Chinese word - sydrome, which is a complex of symptoms, is 综合'征'，not 综合'症' in Chinese, which is a common error among Chinese. 症means disease, 征means symptom, the former causes the latter. For example, pneumonia is a “症”，and coughing is a “征”. People often confuse disease from symptom, I wouldn't blame her for it. Interestingly, I'm not sure if the Chinese girl realized it, the Japanese word was more commonly known as '教科文組織”, which is Just an abbreviation.

For Japanese what about the name: Abe no Jugemu Jugemu Gokō-no surikire Kaijarisuigyo-no Suigyōmatsu Unraimatsu Fūraimatsu Kuunerutokoro-ni Sumutokoro Yaburakōji-no burakōji Paipopaipo Paipo-no-shūringan Shūringan-no Gūrindai Gūrindai-no Ponpokopī-no Ponpokonā-no Chōkyūmei-no Chōsuke (安倍の寿限無寿限無五劫の擦り切れ海砂利水魚の水行末雲来末風来末食う寝る処に住む処やぶら小路の藪柑子パイポパイポ パイポのシューリンガンシューリンガンのグーリンダイグーリンダイのポンポコピーのポンポコナーの長久命の長助)?

Do arabic😍😍the writing system is very interesting!!

[@denycy137]

Gapjil

[@spartanbeast3575]

Fun fact, due to the nature of Arabic, the longest word is just 20 letters (that's partly because Arabs don't write vowels as separate letters, vowels get added on top or bottom of consonants, and vowels are usually dropped when writing and simply pronounced when speaking the word). The other reason that the longest word is only 20 letters is because Arabic words tend to be short by nature, with root words often having just 3-4 letters (sometimes more but the bulk of the language is like this). Also, due to the nature of the Arabic language, it's technically not a single word because it translates out to a full, complete sentence in other languages.

[@BunAni]

I love how super long words in one language suddenly turned super short in other languages 😂 Like how pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis in English is simply Quarzstaublunge in German.

[@snazz1363]

A suggestion would be Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch which is the longest word in Welsh and the name of a town.

It is good to know that the words are not of english native roots but Greek and Lating and then there are also prefixes and suffiixes. Most english speakers will not know how to really break them down unless they have studied Latin, Greek and/or languages derived from them pneumono-ultramicroscopic-silicovolcanoconiosis (first breakdown) pneumon-o - ultr-a micro - scop-ic - silic-o - volcan-o coni- -osis (full breakdown) lung(pertaining to) - outer/beyond, small - looking - silicon (pertaining to) vulcano (pertaining to), dust - condition

[@gigatheprotogen]

Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanokoniosis is weird cause if you split it up into the separate parts, it should mean pneumonia caused by inhaling small silica particles from volcanic smoke/ash but it doesn't mean that for some reason... Cause english just likes to be special and not abide by its own rules

[@andreaTRY2FLY]

it does ? The word means "a lung disease caused by inhalation of very fine silica dust usually found in volcanos". except the pneumonia, because pneumonia is derived from pneumono, meaning lung and -ia. condition of, diseased state, abnormal state.

[@gigatheprotogen]

@@andreaTRY2FLY it simply means "a lung disease caused by inhaling fine ash and sand dust" (Source: Oxford dictionary) There could be multiple definitions however, considering the word doesn't describe an actual disease and was invented to make fun of long medical terms
