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".
Yep. My nephew told me that word after learning it at school (I had never heard of it before), and I immediately understood a good portion of what it meant. He had to slow it down and say each part for me to really get it.
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
'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.
How about the traditional longest word in German: Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft? 81 letters But there is no german longest word because you can always add more and more words like Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaftsmitgliedervertretungsangestellter... this can go to infinity 😃
@@RealNapalm This is a made-up word and is only used in such context like here. It's not officially used. The law and the Eierschalensollbruchstellenverursacher were/are in use.
@@arnothar8035 Thats kinda right but what makes a word 'official'? There is no 'Bundesamt für Wörter' where a word must be registered. That's the powerful thing about german compound words, you can make up any word you like.
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"..
Making it's Infinity prefix also the great Idea: Pradiseketidakmempertemanggungjawabismesentriskanannyalah Pra-di-se-Ke-tidak-mem-per-t(em)anggungjawab-isme-sentris-kan-an-nya-lah

Genesia did a great job teaching Indonesian! In my opinion, she's the best Indonesian cast in this channel. No hate, but the previous Indonesian couldn't really teach because of her limited English vocabularies. Also I'm pretty sure she has no experience in teaching. So my suggestion is, cast Genesia if you want to make a content about teaching/learning languages. You can cast the others for different topics.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicvolcanoconiosis is not inhaling sawdust but inhaling volcanic glass shards. Pnemono -to do with the lungs like pneumonia Ultra microscopic -very extremely tiny Valcano- defining what kind of coniosis Coniosis- a medical term refering to inhaling dust/particulate
You can break it down even more if you know the Greek and Latin roots: Pneumono: Lung Ultra: Beyond Micro: Small Scopic: To the eye or visual assessment Silico: Hard stone Volcano: Loanword from the original Italian vulcano meaning 'burning mountain' Coni: Dust Osis: Disease or condition of So 'Lung beyond-small-to-the-eye-hard-stone-burning-mountain-dust disease'.
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! 😂
@@Edgar_Ramirez471let me teach you some demohraphic knowledge about indonesian people. Papuans are Indonesians since the western part of the island is ours.
Both Indonesians and Germans loves to combine bunch of words to create a new word from it. But while Indonesian usually makes an acronym out of them, German basically just let the words as it is. Like for example, if indonesian word for online, "daring", was created by germans, it'd be "dalamjaringan" instead 😂
Germans do that, too, especially with official laws. E.g. BAFög stands for Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz, but in casual speech we just say the acronym as one word. Or Hiwi instead of Hilfswissenschaftler. It's often the starts of the building blocks the word got made from.
@@spartanbeast3575 that's a bit different since that's just shortening to the first word. Compare to Flak which comes from Flug-Abwehr-Kanone (=air defence cannon).
@@SetuwoKecik Sounds lovely! I wish we would do it more often because I find these fun. There are certainly a few prominent ones, but it takes a bit of time here to make a new one.
Indonesian is also actually the only one that’s literally just a single word with one root and not an amalgamation of multiple different words that are individually interchangeable It’s literally just built the same way “irresponsibility” is built upon the root of “response”. They just have more letters for each of the elements.
@@MonkeyDRuffy82We had to write like this when I went to the Grund and Hauptschule, but not anymore in the Berufskolleg. So, since I've got my Realschulabschluss in 2017 and my Fachabitur in 2020, idk if I'm actually still able to write like that... (Also, since I've left the Berufskolleg, I'm not writing on paper that much anymore.) Maybe I should give it a try haha
Yes that would be so fun! Especially for 上火 shanghuo which literally translates to up fire but nobody can exactly express what it is. Best explanation I've seen is excessive internal heat but it just doesn't feel right.
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").
A good comparison my wife learnt at school was: The 'soft' ch is essentially the first sound you make when you slowly pronounce 'huge' - the 'hard' ch is sound at the end of a sulky teenage 'ugh' ... including the eyeroll

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz: Law on the transfer of tasks for the monitoring of cattle identification and beef labelling
6:16 I love how the Japanese and the Chinese girls can pronounce the Korean (because all three languages are either Chinese or a derivative of it), but do it with their native accents. Really goes to show how similar yet diverse Asian languages are!
Technically the three languages aren’t related (or at least, there is no proof they are). But there are a lot of Chinese loan words into Japanese and Korean.
Rindfleischettiketierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is the law regarding the transfer of the tasks relating the surveillance of labeling beef. I.e. in the past, institution A was responsible for making sure beef is labeled correctly and that task was transferred to institution B via this law.
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.
as expected genesia is really great to explained the affixes! its indeed the hardest part of learning indonesian. i remember that when i was in the high school, a lot of my classmates also struggled to understand affixes even tho we are indonesian as well. also its nice to see kotoha again after 3 years ❤️ even tho she barely speaks in this video. either she indeed didnt speak (probably bcs she felt shy or uncomfortable to speak in english) or they just cut her scenes 😔 but ya, nice to see kotoha and genesia in one video ❤️
official longest word in these countries now: Deutsch: Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft, meaning "Danube steam shipping electricity main depot construction sub-civil servant company." Korean: 청자양인각연당초상감모란문은구대접, (cheongjayang-in-gakyeondangchosang-gammoranmuneun-gudaejeop) now I'm sure I have the translation really wrong, like REALLY wrong, but I think it means something along the lines of "blue porcelain ." Indonesian: Mempertanggungjawabkan or Heksakosioiheksekontaheksafobia (Heksakosioiheksekontaheksafobia is the translation of "hexacosioihexecontahexaphobia" in English, so it technically doesn't count, but it still is longer than mempertanggungjawabkan) English: Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminy...isoleucine, which is 189,819 letters and is the chemical composition for titin. Mandarin: There is no "longest word" in Mandarin, because all the letters are independent, there is no "alphabet. " "储物柜里塞满了海报和其他东西," which means "the locker is overfilled with posters and other things," is already longer than the word they said in the video. Japanese: 虎が人を噛もうとするときのうなり声, meaning "the sound () a tigerr makes when it tries to bite () a person."
Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunternehmenbeamtengesellschaft is/was in the guinnes book of records for the longes german word with 80 letters. Rindfleischettiketierungs...gesetz is no longer a law since 2013 therefore it is no longer in the dictionary. Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS)(44 letters) is the longest word according to Duden and Arbeiterunfallversicherungsgesetz (33 letters at rank 4) is the longest word without a hyphen ( - )
@@VanezBane Fun fact, the longest English word would need an entire dictionary just to write out that one word. And why is that, you ask? Because technically speaking, the longest word in English is “Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl…isoleucine”. That’s the scientific name for the largest protein in the human body, scientifically known as ‘titin,’ made up of over 190,000 letters.
That's the thing about compound words in German - you won't find most of them in dictionaries as you can essentially make them up on the go. A dictionary containing every possible combination would fill whole libaries.
@@ahsookee Nope. Doesn't exist anymore. It was once the Word for a Law but neither the Law nor the Word exist anymore so you definitely wouldn't find them in a dictionary.

In general, schools in Indonesia have foreign language lessons such as German, French, Japanese and English We can choose which is the best choice to study and I chose German even though it is still so bad to pronounce it
In German you can just compound words as much as you like from nothing. Like: Hochhaus/hubschrauber/landeplatz/leuchten/netzwerk/schalter/spannung which mean the Skyscraper helicopter helipad lights network switch voltage - so the voltage on the switch for the lights on a helipad on a skyscraper, just in one word I just made up a minute ago. But there are certain rules you have to follow when combining those words, and I have no idea how they are called - I just make the connection in a way that feels right ... lol
For anyone wondering the word that the Chinese speaker is saying (严重急性呼吸系统综合装) is in simpler terms just SARS (Sever Acute Repiratory Syndrome) the COVID like outbreak that started in February 2003 (Guangdong, China)
German is awesome: Forstengestagsegelniederhaulerbelegnagel. Basically a wooden pin on a sailing ship used to attach a certain rope to. Which rope? That would be the rope used to pull down one of the triangular sail attached to the metal wire inbetween the foremast and the bowsprit
In English, many words originated from Greek and Latin languages, specially the words used in science and medicine. "pneumo" is from Greek "pneumon" = "lung. "Ultra" is from Latin "oltero"="beyond, from the other side". "Microscope" is from Latin "microscopium", but its parts come from Greek: "Micro" is from Greek "smikros"="small, little"; "skopion"="to look at, observe". Girls need to study "etymology": from the Greek "etymos"="true sense, origin", "logia"="the study of".
when I was a college freshman I enrolled in chinese and all that happened in the very first class was that the (really kind!) teacher explained inflections and gave everyone instructions for how to drop the course if they wanted to and said she wouldn't judge them 😂 I dropped it!
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.
The Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is the so called "short name" for a law valid between 1999 and 2013 in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Most other similar long words are also "short names" of minor laws or decrees - seems to be kind of a competition between lawmakers. Or it is only because the "short name" is supposed to be a single word, but minor laws have often very precise and descriptive titles which are difficult to reduce to a single word.
Floccinaucinihilipilification is my favorite long English word - and the best one our there that's not composed of a bunch of smaller terms brought together!
2:17 those are known as compund words. Where every part of the word is pre-existing and has a meaning on it´s own. However it can be put together with other words to form new words.
Generally, a language uses shorter words to address concepts that are more common. So Indonesian using such a long word to express "irresponsibility" means that it hasn't been a frequent problem in their recent-ish past.
Japanese is the easiest to pronounce since they don’t have that many difficult sounds. As mentioned Thai would have been a really good one. They have extremely long words similar to German but with the tonal precision of Chinese as well. Welsh would have been fun too. Very interesting video! 👍
As a german native I love how the german lady looks so distressed right after the Korean started to speak haha We are always so convinced that our language is actually hard, until we find out that it really is not.
it’d be real fun if they ever got a cantonese person, with the 9 pronunciations compared to mandarin’s 4, and words with odd pronunciations like ngo (the ng makes an ing sound, but without the i), sik (the k is half silent, kinda), mm (the letter 5, with different accents on each m), and more!
I've heard that German can actually stack there words infinite long by adding adjectives multiple times without limits, like 48 times of big or something.
So, the Rindfleischettikettierungsaufgabenüberwachungsgesetz was a law concerned with the tracking of responsibilities for the veracity of labeling on packed beef. It is no longer on the books and was mainly famous for being a super long word and relevant in the context of a scandal once.
That is awesome! >w< Currently I am just learning my third language, Finnish, but after that I want to learn Indonesian too. Glad to hear that the longest Indonesian word is so short. X3
Bagi saya orang Indonesia lebih mudah belajar bahasa Jerman dan Belanda daripada Inggris...bahasa Jerman dan Belanda hampir mirip..cara membaca/pengucapan juga sama dengan bahasa Indonesia...
I think Genesia forgot to explain the changing of the word type, only the meaning, for the indonesian example : Tanggung (verb) = to bear jawab (verb) = to answer tanggung jawab (phrase, noun) = responsibility bertanggung jawab (phrase, verb) = to be responsible tidak bertanggung jawab (negative, phrase, verb) = not responsible ketidakbertanggungjawaban (noun) = irresponsibility
fun fact about Germany: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is not even the longest german word. It's Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunternehmenbeamtengesellschaft.

Anything with pneu at the start is likely describing fluid dynamics not necessarily medical. pneu. Air is fluid and most respiratory issues are named for their affect on your ability to breathe so pneu is commonly used in medicine.
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.
The only one I know and can pronounce as well as spell is pneumonoultramicroscopicscilicovolcanoconiosis,as someone who is only a middle schooler with English being my second language I’m quite happy with it
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.

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.

"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 did a great job teaching Indonesian! In my opinion, she's the best Indonesian cast in this channel. No hate, but the previous Indonesian couldn't really teach because of her limited English vocabularies. Also I'm pretty sure she has no experience in teaching. So my suggestion is, cast Genesia if you want to make a content about teaching/learning languages. You can cast the others for different topics.
Pneumonoultramicroscopicvolcanoconiosis is not inhaling sawdust but inhaling volcanic glass shards.
Pnemono -to do with the lungs like pneumonia
Ultra microscopic -very extremely tiny
Valcano- defining what kind of coniosis
Coniosis- a medical term refering to inhaling dust/particulate
You can break it down even more if you know the Greek and Latin roots:
Pneumono: Lung
Ultra: Beyond
Micro: Small
Scopic: To the eye or visual assessment
Silico: Hard stone
Volcano: Loanword from the original Italian vulcano meaning 'burning mountain'
Coni: Dust
Osis: Disease or condition of
So 'Lung beyond-small-to-the-eye-hard-stone-burning-mountain-dust disease'.
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! 😂

Both Indonesians and Germans loves to combine bunch of words to create a new word from it.
But while Indonesian usually makes an acronym out of them, German basically just let the words as it is. Like for example, if indonesian word for online, "daring", was created by germans, it'd be "dalamjaringan" instead 😂
Germans do that, too, especially with official laws. E.g. BAFög stands for Bundesausbildungsförderungsgesetz, but in casual speech we just say the acronym as one word. Or Hiwi instead of Hilfswissenschaftler. It's often the starts of the building blocks the word got made from.

I think it's only Indonesian word that are actually used every day
Indonesian is also actually the only one that’s literally just a single word with one root and not an amalgamation of multiple different words that are individually interchangeable
It’s literally just built the same way “irresponsibility” is built upon the root of “response”. They just have more letters for each of the elements.
Hey, I haven't watched this channel for a while, but I really appreciate the move to longer videos and not ending at the 10 or 8 minute mark.

Actually, the longest Indonesian word is a loanword from English which is ‘Heksakosioiheksekontaheksafobia’, a fear of number 666.
and this word is taken from the Greek, hexakosioi which means 600, hexekonta which means 60, and hexa which means 6. hexakosioi+hexekonta+hexa = 666.
Wow both of you blown my mind

@@ichbinaiden ikr, since we barely hear the word, so it's kinda forgetten 😂
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").
A good comparison my wife learnt at school was: The 'soft' ch is essentially the first sound you make when you slowly pronounce 'huge' - the 'hard' ch is sound at the end of a sulky teenage 'ugh' ... including the eyeroll
There is a comparable sound in English to /x/, even if it's dialect. Just ask your Scottish friends (e.g.: loch).
Wie sagt der Kölner: Fluchzeuschträjer, drei g-Aussprachevarianten. As the people of Cologne say: Fluchzeuschträjer; three g pronunciation variants.

Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz:
Law on the transfer of tasks for the monitoring of cattle identification and beef labelling
6:16 I love how the Japanese and the Chinese girls can pronounce the Korean (because all three languages are either Chinese or a derivative of it), but do it with their native accents. Really goes to show how similar yet diverse Asian languages are!
Technically the three languages aren’t related (or at least, there is no proof they are). But there are a lot of Chinese loan words into Japanese and Korean.
They needed a Welsh girl on this episode
omg so true
Or Hawaiian.
Rindfleischettiketierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is the law regarding the transfer of the tasks relating the surveillance of labeling beef. I.e. in the past, institution A was responsible for making sure beef is labeled correctly and that task was transferred to institution B via this law.
love that the "english" one is straight up latin
I think the longest Indonesian word is "mempertanggungjawabkannya", I have no idea about "ketidakbertanggungjawaban". But overall GOOD JOB ✨️
just add -nya to "ketidakbertanggungjawaban" and it will be the longest word after "mempertanggungjawabkannya", he he
mempertanggungjawabkannyaLAH! 😂😂 idk if that can also makes sense
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.

as expected genesia is really great to explained the affixes!
its indeed the hardest part of learning indonesian. i remember that when i was in the high school, a lot of my classmates also struggled to understand affixes even tho we are indonesian as well.
also its nice to see kotoha again after 3 years ❤️
even tho she barely speaks in this video. either she indeed didnt speak (probably bcs she felt shy or uncomfortable to speak in english) or they just cut her scenes 😔
but ya, nice to see kotoha and genesia in one video ❤️
official longest word in these countries now:
Deutsch: Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunterbeamtengesellschaft, meaning
"Danube steam shipping electricity main depot construction sub-civil servant company."
Korean: 청자양인각연당초상감모란문은구대접, (cheongjayang-in-gakyeondangchosang-gammoranmuneun-gudaejeop) now I'm sure I have the translation really wrong, like REALLY wrong, but I think it means something along the lines of "blue porcelain ."
Indonesian: Mempertanggungjawabkan or Heksakosioiheksekontaheksafobia
(Heksakosioiheksekontaheksafobia is the translation of "hexacosioihexecontahexaphobia" in English, so it technically doesn't count, but it still is longer than mempertanggungjawabkan)
English: Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminy...isoleucine, which is 189,819 letters and is the chemical composition for titin.
Mandarin: There is no "longest word" in Mandarin, because all the letters are independent, there is no "alphabet. " "储物柜里塞满了海报和其他东西," which means "the locker is overfilled with posters and other things," is already longer than the word they said in the video.
Japanese: 虎が人を噛もうとするときのうなり声, meaning "the sound () a tigerr makes when it tries to bite () a person."
It’s just to easy to generate new nouns in German language. Just stag them together as you see fit. 😂

You wouldn’t find these long German words in a dictionary though…
You would, some of them, depending on the dictionary. The first one about beef is the name of a real law
Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunternehmenbeamtengesellschaft is/was in the guinnes book of records for the longes german word with 80 letters. Rindfleischettiketierungs...gesetz is no longer a law since 2013 therefore it is no longer in the dictionary.
Aufmerksamkeitsdefizit-Hyperaktivitätsstörung (ADHS)(44 letters) is the longest word according to Duden and Arbeiterunfallversicherungsgesetz (33 letters at rank 4) is the longest word without a hyphen ( - )
@@VanezBane Fun fact, the longest English word would need an entire dictionary just to write out that one word. And why is that, you ask? Because technically speaking, the longest word in English is “Methionylthreonylthreonylglutaminylarginyl…isoleucine”.

We can choose which is the best choice to study and I chose German even though it is still so bad to pronounce it
11:35 "pn" is not describing a disease, it's describing anything to with the lungs.
In German you can just compound words as much as you like from nothing. Like:
Hochhaus/hubschrauber/landeplatz/leuchten/netzwerk/schalter/spannung which mean the Skyscraper helicopter helipad lights network switch voltage - so the voltage on the switch for the lights on a helipad on a skyscraper, just in one word I just made up a minute ago.
But there are certain rules you have to follow when combining those words, and I have no idea how they are called - I just make the connection in a way that feels right ... lol

Hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia would have at least been fun to mention, it meaning "the fear of long words" and all

In English, many words originated from Greek and Latin languages, specially the words used in science and medicine. "pneumo" is from Greek "pneumon" = "lung. "Ultra" is from Latin "oltero"="beyond, from the other side". "Microscope" is from Latin "microscopium", but its parts come from Greek: "Micro" is from Greek "smikros"="small, little"; "skopion"="to look at, observe". Girls need to study "etymology": from the Greek "etymos"="true sense, origin", "logia"="the study of".
when I was a college freshman I enrolled in chinese and all that happened in the very first class was that the (really kind!) teacher explained inflections and gave everyone instructions for how to drop the course if they wanted to and said she wouldn't judge them 😂 I dropped it!
11:52 makes me think of "core" the heart of something
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.
0:27 lol, English likes to split up words just like French also does, German in theory you have no limit.
The Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is the so called "short name" for a law valid between 1999 and 2013 in the state of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. Most other similar long words are also "short names" of minor laws or decrees - seems to be kind of a competition between lawmakers. Or it is only because the "short name" is supposed to be a single word, but minor laws have often very precise and descriptive titles which are difficult to reduce to a single word.
2:36 holly shit she nailed it!!!
Might have been a good idea for the "English speaker" to learn English first.

Floccinaucinihilipilification is my favorite long English word - and the best one our there that's not composed of a bunch of smaller terms brought together!
pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis. ah yes
2:17 those are known as compund words. Where every part of the word is pre-existing and has a meaning on it´s own. However it can be put together with other words to form new words.
German is an agglutinate language, not the easiest to learn. Also Joana looks like someone who could use hugs.
Wow the Korean and Indonesian girls' pronunciation of the Chinese term is really good
Generally, a language uses shorter words to address concepts that are more common. So Indonesian using such a long word to express "irresponsibility" means that it hasn't been a frequent problem in their recent-ish past.
Japanese is the easiest to pronounce since they don’t have that many difficult sounds.
As mentioned Thai would have been a really good one. They have extremely long words similar to German but with the tonal precision of Chinese as well.
Welsh would have been fun too.
Very interesting video! 👍
I love it how they are mixing English and Korean when talking about Japanese :D
There is a word for putting so many nouns together in German. It's called Komposita.
As a german native I love how the german lady looks so distressed right after the Korean started to speak haha We are always so convinced that our language is actually hard, until we find out that it really is not.
it’d be real fun if they ever got a cantonese person, with the 9 pronunciations compared to mandarin’s 4, and words with odd pronunciations like ngo (the ng makes an ing sound, but without the i), sik (the k is half silent, kinda), mm (the letter 5, with different accents on each m), and more!
I've heard that German can actually stack there words infinite long by adding adjectives multiple times without limits, like 48 times of big or something.
Theoretically yes
Yeah, but those are made up words, then, the one shown is the longest official one.
So, the Rindfleischettikettierungsaufgabenüberwachungsgesetz was a law concerned with the tracking of responsibilities for the veracity of labeling on packed beef.
It is no longer on the books and was mainly famous for being a super long word and relevant in the context of a scandal once.
That is awesome! >w<
Currently I am just learning my third language, Finnish, but after that I want to learn Indonesian too. Glad to hear that the longest Indonesian word is so short. X3
Meanwhile polish longest word Konstantynopolitańczykowianeczka which doesn't have any word chunks (just one word)
Bagi saya orang Indonesia lebih mudah belajar bahasa Jerman dan Belanda daripada Inggris...bahasa Jerman dan Belanda hampir mirip..cara membaca/pengucapan juga sama dengan bahasa Indonesia...
Karna Bahasa Jerman dan Belanda juga Inggris adalah rumpun Bahasa Germanik yg berasal dari rumpun Bahasa Indo-Eropa
I think Genesia forgot to explain the changing of the word type, only the meaning, for the indonesian example :
Tanggung (verb) = to bear
jawab (verb) = to answer
tanggung jawab (phrase, noun) = responsibility
bertanggung jawab (phrase, verb) = to be responsible
tidak bertanggung jawab (negative, phrase, verb) = not responsible
ketidakbertanggungjawaban (noun) = irresponsibility
the beef labelling law is about monitoring and enforcing proper beef labelling; passed after the mad cow disease outbreak
fun fact about Germany: Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is not even the longest german word. It's Donaudampfschifffahrtselektrizitätenhauptbetriebswerkbauunternehmenbeamtengesellschaft.

Do arabic😍😍the writing system is very interesting!!
Gapjil
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.
Half of them have really good English pronunciation!
The only one I know and can pronounce as well as spell is pneumonoultramicroscopicscilicovolcanoconiosis,as someone who is only a middle schooler with English being my second language I’m quite happy with it
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.
The german word there doesnt even exist anymore since that law was dumped a short while after it was implemented. ^^
