And here's what world's longest word?
The full chemical name of the largest protein contains 189,819 letters and is considered the longest word in any language.
Titin, also known as connectin, is a giant protein consisting of 244 individually folded protein regions connected by an unstructured peptide sequence.
In addition, the titin gene contains the most a large number of There are 363 exons found in one gene.
Titin plays important role in the contraction of striated muscle tissue, but it is best known for its technical name, which is considered the longest word in any language in the world.
The name "titin" is borrowed from the Greek word "titan" (giant deity, something of large size). The chemical name starts with methionyl...and ends with...isoleucine.
The full name of the largest protein would take up a lot of space in this post, but you
If you really want to hear what the longest word in the world sounds like, you can watch the video, which takes almost 3.5 hours to fully pronounce this name.
Interestingly, you won’t even see the full chemical name of titin in dictionaries, since dictionary compilers count names chemical compounds a verbal formula, not a word. But no matter what you call it: a word, a formula or a whole story, it is extremely long.
The longest word in the Russian language has not yet been determined for a number of reasons. Theoretically, one of these words could be the adjectiveahydropyridopyridine, consisting of 55 letters. But will such a choice of winner be fair, because in analytical, let’s say, chemistry, the names of substances can be constructed according to a certain scheme and sometimes reach downright cosmic values.
Another frequently cited example is the construction of a word by adding the prefix right-. Its quantity can be unlimited, therefore, there will be plenty of letters in such a word.
Various words that contain a numeral and denote any value are also popular - one thousand eight hundred seventy-nine centimeters, or constructed according to the type eighty-four. To indicate the age of, for example, the Earth. So there are countless possibilities for word creation. You can combine options for quite a long time, because, as we know, natural numbers dark. That is, you can ask yourself to express the diameter of the Earth in millimeters, and you can only imagine how many letters there will be in this newborn word. In view of this, the task of finding the longest word in the Russian language, alas, will not be crowned with success. Moreover, most of these words seem almost like monsters to the average person, and are not used at all in ordinary speech. Only on a local scale. That is, it is quite possible to find the longest word among parts of speech, for example, verbs or nouns.
Some difficulties are also created by the lack of agreement on whether different word forms can be used. So, for example, in the Guinness Book of Records in 1993, the longest word was the word X-ray electrocardiographic (33 letters), in the 2003 edition - highly considerate (35 letters). In the first case, an analogue of the word could be used - ente(42 letters). Disputes arose, naturally, due to the fact that, as we can see, in the first case the word was used in genitive case, and in the second the spelling variant, for example, in the same case, would be longer by a letter. In general, the record-breaking words were never recognized, because the information is quite subjective and cannot be confirmed.
How do you like this longest abbreviation? (56 characters)
NIIOMTPLABOPARMBETZHELBETRABSBORMONNIMONKO H-OTDTECHSTROMONT
Research laboratory of operations for concrete reinforcement and reinforced concrete work for the construction of prefabricated monolithic and monolithic structures of the technology department of the construction and installation department of the Academy of Construction and Architecture of the USSR. That is, you can imagine how the employees of this organization answered the question about work.
Now let's talk about the very best of their kind.
Longest adjective with a hyphen: agricultural engineering (38 letters).
The longest nouns with a hyphen are: uprooter-bulldozer-loader and animate-inanimate (31 letters).
The longest noun without a hyphen: water-mud-peat-paraffin treatment (29 letters).
Longest adjective without a hyphen: electrophotosemiconductor (28 letters). This data is kindly provided spelling dictionary Russian Academy Sci.
The grammatical dictionary of A.A. Zaliznyak, published in 2003, believes that: the longest (in letters) common noun lexeme in dictionary form is the adjective private entrepreneur (25 letters; word forms in -ogo and -imi - 26 letters).
The longest verbs are to re-examine, to substantiate and to internationalize (all - 24 letters; the participles formed from them with the ending -uyuschie and the gerunds ending -ovavshisya - 25 letters each). The first time I couldn’t even immediately imagine the meaning of the second word...
The longest nouns are misanthropy and eminence (24 letters each; word forms in -ami - 26 letters each)
The longest animate nouns are eleventh-grader (20 letters) and clerk (21 letters), word forms in -ami are 22 and 23 letters, respectively.
The longest adverb recorded by the dictionary is unsatisfactory (19 letters). We should not forget that the overwhelming majority of qualitative adjectives ending in -y and -iy form adverbs in -о, -е or -и, which are not always recorded in the dictionary.
The longest interjection included in the dictionary is the slightly rude fizkult-hello (14 letters).
The word accordingly (14 letters) is also the longest preposition. The longest particle is exclusively a letter shorter.
But in addition to long, little-known and highly specialized words, there are also champions in literature, for example, the word for good consideration, which Nikolai Leskov used in the story “Hare Remise”. The most interesting thing is that no one knows the true meaning, it is quite likely that the author himself invented it . But probably everyone can imagine its meaning.
Our language hides a lot of interesting things, and I think the number of record-breaking words does not in any way affect the power and beauty of our Russian speech. While collecting information for this article, I learned an incredible number of interesting things. And for some reason I remembered that when I was seven years old I thought that the word electrosynchrophasotron was, well, the longest one, and Staroportofrankovskaya Street was generally something out of science fiction. Beliefs change...And most importantly, language is not something static, and is daily replenished with neologisms; he lives, is reborn, and it is unknown how long the champion word can become. Although, judging by the current desire of young people to shorten the word beyond recognition, it is still unknown who will win...
And when I was studying at the institute, there was a student in our group who considered his last name to be the longest in Russia - Skorobogatko - 13 letters, who has more?
Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thank you for that
that you are discovering this beauty. Thanks for the inspiration and goosebumps.

There were times when the kings of nature were creatures much larger than us - real prehistoric giants! And one of them still lives on Earth, can you imagine?
We are in website We can’t choose what we would like more - ride a Paraceratherium or fly a Quetzalcoatlus.
Amphicelia
Amphicelia is the largest animal that has ever existed on Earth. These herbivorous dinosaurs lived 145–161 million years ago. One amphicelia vertebra was 2.5 meters long.
Titanoboa
Titanoboa is a close relative of the boa constrictor. But much, much more. Titanoboa lived 58–61 million years ago and reached 13 meters in length. The modern reticulated python can grow to a maximum of 7.5 meters.
Megalodon
Megalodons were apex predators that lived 3–28 million years ago. The megalodon tooth alone barely fits in the hands of an adult. Its length could reach 20 meters, and its weight reached 47 tons. The megalodon's bite force was 10 tons!
Argentavis
Argentavis lived 5–8 million years ago. This is one of the largest birds in the entire history of the Earth. Its wingspan reached almost 7 meters, and it ate rodents.
Bighorn deer
Big-horned (Irish) deer appeared a couple of million years ago. When forests began to encroach on open spaces, big-horned deer became extinct - with their huge (more than 5 meters in span) antlers, they simply could not move among the dense branches.
Giant short-faced bear
The giant short-faced bear (bulldog bear), when erect, reached a height of 3.5–4.5 meters and had incredibly powerful jaws. It was one of the largest predatory mammals that lived on Earth during the Ice Age. Males were significantly larger than females and could reach a weight of 1.5 tons. 14 thousand years ago, bulldog bears became extinct.
Gigantopithecus
Gigantopithecus is the largest ape of all time. They lived about 1 million years ago. It is difficult to draw clear conclusions from the rare remains, but scientists believe that Gigantopithecus was 3–4 meters tall, weighed 300–550 kg and ate mainly bamboo.
Paraceratherium
Paraceratherium (indricotherium) lived 20–30 million years ago. They are relatives of modern rhinoceroses, but they did not have horns. Paraceratherium is one of the largest land mammals that has ever existed. They reached 5 meters in height and weighed up to 20 tons. Despite their impressive appearance, they were not predators and fed on leaves and tree branches.
Bugs, bats and cow skulls, yay! There are things in the world that make us feel uncomfortable. However, what seems “normal” can also give us mixed reactions if it is blown out of proportion! A huge hamburger and a butcher knife pointing into the clouds definitely look creepy. In this list, we will tell you about the biggest things in the world. Some of these things are living organisms, while others are ordinary household items. Among them there are also things that we would never like to see even in their usual size.
Many people are of the opinion that “more is better.” However, this is not always true, is it? It's safe to say that no one would want to step on a titan lumberjack beetle or spot a flying dog in the sky. While Americans truly love their hamburgers, would they dare to take on a hamburger that weighs over 2,000 pounds? There is something about huge objects that makes us seek shelter and hide. However, you might be interested in reading about the top ten “Biggest” world records that will make you shiver. From bugs to belly button fuzz, these things can baffle and disgust you.
10. The largest hamburger in the world
If you are hungry, why don't you eat a piece of the world itself? He broke the world record with a weight of 913 kilograms!

For example, this hamburger contained 23.8 kilograms of tomatoes, 22.6 kilograms of lettuce, 27.2 kilograms of onions, 8.6 kilograms of pickles, 18 kilograms of American cheese and 7.5 kilograms of bacon. That's over 104 kilograms of toppings. The diameter of the hamburger was 3 meters and it had to be turned over using a crane.
9. The largest beetle in the world
The titan woodcutter beetle is very aptly named. This is the largest beetle in the world. The length of its body exceeds 20 centimeters. Considering the fact that this bug can grow to the size of a small puppy, it is worth staying away from. The titan lumberjack beetle has powerful jaws, a back studded with small spines, and what's even worse - it can hiss and fly! However, despite this, scientists consider it completely safe for people. No thanks, we'd better step aside. If you really want to see this beetle with your own eyes, you should go to the tropical jungle South America. However, you should not forget that this beetle can easily tear human skin.
This is further confirmation of the fact that the work of a librarian is truly a very lonely occupation. Graham Barker has a collection of belly button fluff that he keeps in various jars around his home. This is just his personal belly button fluff and he has three jugs of it or approximately 21 grams. Barker says he pulls the lint out of his belly button before he showers. He began collecting his collection at the age of 19. He currently holds the Guinness World Record. It is safe to say that there are not too many people in the world who can try to break this record. Barker assures people that the jars do not stink and that mold does not grow in them. Let's take his word for it.
7. The largest tumor in the world
Surgeons removed the world's largest tumor from Yang Jianbin's back in Beijing, China. The tumor weighed 110 kilograms! What started out as a dark spot on Janbin's skin quickly grew into a huge tumor. He had a tumor removed when he was nine years old (at that time the tumor was the size of his fist), but it quickly grew back. As it turned out, Janbin suffered from neurofibromatosis, a genetic disorder that causes impaired cell growth in nervous system. It took surgeons and doctors 16 hours to remove the huge tumor. Luckily, Janbin recovered from his surgery and now lives happily without a tumor.

It is located in the city of St. Louis in Missouri. The city museum houses the largest pair of underpants in the world. The waist circumference of these briefs is 20 meters, and the height from waist to crotch is 12 meters. Wow! The panties were temporarily removed from the museum but were returned "washed and folded," according to the museum's Facebook page. Presumably, these panties also came with lace ladies' shorts, but nothing is known about them. It's a mystery why any museum would want to display a huge pair of underpants, let's just hope we never meet the owner.
