You are all just jealous because I can have fun with invented words. I don't care if you don't like them. Then again, the ones who don't like them are prolly just roblors.

You're a Finn. You don't need to invent bizarre looking words, just use your native tongue.


" HAAYOAIE is a Finnish word for "a plan for the wedding night"; it has 7 consecutive vowels, and 6 of the 8 vowel sounds that exist in Finnish (there is an umlaut above the first two A's and the O).

SAUNA is the only common word in the English language borrowed directly from Finnish. Obscure words from Finnish include KANTELE, a type of zither, PULKA, a sled, ESSIVE, a linguistic term, and EDUSKUNTA, the Finnish parliament .

(I do like that last one. I've often thought governments were a bunch of eduskuntas)


The Finnish word SAIPPUAKIVIKAUPPIAS (a dealer in lye) is the longest known palindrome in any language according to the Guinness Book of World Records."

IIRC there are 8 actual vowels in Finnish, and by doubling them you get another 8 sounds.

Finnish also has the longest multiword palidrome. Shame it makes no sense.
