this is a thread just so I can show people how long and hard the finnish language actually is. One of the great things about learning a new language is you will find humour in certain words, humour that the natives have probably never picked up on. In English we have lots of words that are ridiculous when you think about it, such as "rambunctious" and "discombobulate", but we English don't realise it because it's our language dammit and it's right! Here are my favourite Finnish words and phrases:
Because Finnish uses free forming of composite words, new words can even be formed during a conversation. One can add nouns after each other without breaking grammar rules. If one allows artificial constructs as well as using clitics and conjugated forms, one can create even longer words: such as
kumarreksituteskenteleentuvaisehkollaismaisekkuudellisenneskenteluttelemattomammuuksissansakaankopahan
(yes it is a word)
it is a word that means nothing it is a word but it basically is just nonsense and is in the dictionary but doesnt have a listed meaning
