I love the German word ver­bes­se­rungs­be­dürf­tig, meaning in need of improvement. I’m not German, but thought this was a cracking word.

    Google says the longest cited Finnish word is “lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas,” meaning “airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer student.” Can you make one longer?

      I’m guessing this means official titles, names or otherwise somehow constricted words.

      I can easily extend it by adding few words: “Antiikkilentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilasehdokas” meaning “antique airplane jet turbine engine auxiliary mechanic non-commissioned officer student candidate”.
