Biggest and Longest Words in English Universal Translation Services 2021


Biggest and Longest Words in English Do you have a language phobia? You may wonder whether there is any term like this but yes it does exist! Some people are afraid of hearing the longest and biggest words in the English language. Some think that it is easy for the native speakers of English to even pronounce the longest words. But that’s not the case. No English speaker can speak this word or use it the right way. And therefore, you should also not worry because no native English speaker will expect you to use such words in daily conversations or even essays. But the teachers in American schools will prefer you to learn more. And there is no doubt that reading and learning such words is beneficial for your progress to challenge yourself by expanding your vocabulary with highlevel words – including long words that may seem intimidating at first. Let’s take a look at some of these words as they will help you get into the habit of richening your vocabulary! Universal Translation Services 2021


Incomprehensibilities (21 letters) The plural form of incomprehensibility, this noun represents the things and events that are difficult to comprehend because they are complex in mystery.

Interdisciplinary (17 letters) This adjective is often used in non-traditional schools to describe a new yet growing approach to education. An interdisciplinary method of teaching uses two or more different subjects to explore a concept, like government systems or humans’ impact on biodiversity.

Inconsequential (15 letters)

When something is inconsequential, it is meaningless or not important to you. For example, in this digital age of sharing, many people still believe that social media is inconsequential and refuse to join Instagram or Facebook. This is a great adjective to use when you want to emphasize just how little something means to you. Universal Translation Services 2021


Apart from these words, Titin is the word that has the title of the world’s biggest and longest word. You may wonder how? And the answer is its chemical name. The word is 189,819 letters long. Proteins are usually named by mashing up the names of the chemicals making them. And since it is the largest protein ever discovered, its name had to be equally as large.

Agglutinative Languages These are the languages that allow for the creation of long words via compounding. Hundreds and thousands of alphabets combine to make new and unique words. This is how some words get the tag of longest and biggest words. Many languages come in this section. Some include Basque, Esperanto, Estonian, Finnish, Hungarian, Korean, Mongolian, Ojibwe, and Turkish. Universal Translation Services 2021


Non-Agglutinative Languages These languages also allow word-formation of theoretically limitless length in certain contexts. Some examples of these languages include Afrikaans, Bulgarian, Catalan, Croatian, and Danish, Dutch, and English language. Particularly, this article has focused on the biggest and longest words in the English language.
