Your Finnish Dare!

Today on my Facebook wall, a good friend of mine leaves me a note that her phone gives her very random facts daily.

Finns - REJOICE.  No - it's not about Angry Birds or hockey....but it's about your language!

Today's fact on her phone was:

"The longest word in the Finnish language, that is not a compound word is, 

epaejaerjestelmaellistyttaemaettoemyydellaensaekaeaen".

It's English definition was listed as: 'even with their lack of ability to disorganize'.

So - this may not be the exact spelling of the word because I doubt there were any "�" or "�" in that message - because she doesn't know how to type those in.

For those of you wondering how, you need to change your keyboard (bottom right hand icon) to an "International" one.  Once you do that, if you want "�" - you press:

• "
• A (or little a)

And if you want an "�", you type in:

• "
• O (or little o)

So - say that crazy word 10x fast...I dare you! :-)

(Oh and of course I HAD to count that word....there are 53 letters if I counted correctly!)


PS Because I copied the word from my FB - it created the white background whenever I continued to type - hence the weird background.
