I once saw a word in an inuit language that was close to 100 letters long and was the only word of its sentence. It meant something like "the tenant has been reported to be unable to pay their rent for an extended period of time".,(reply>), That's why they apparently have "10000 words for snow",(reply>), @TaiFerret<br>Yeah, it's probably a paraphrase of some kind... maybe it was more like "[he] [reportedly] [was] [not] [able to] [pay] [rent] [for a while]", and on translation they filled in the pronominal subjects and expanded the adverbial suffixes? Who knows.,(reply>), @boptillyouflop<br>I would expect concepts like "tenant", "report", "pay rent" and "period of time" to all be able to stand on their own. Though I guess it could be a compound of words meaning:<br>-"the tenant",<br>-"has been reported",<br>-"to be unable to pay their rent" and<br>-"for an extended period of time".<br><br>I would assume you could at least express nouns and verbs on their own in some way.,(reply>), +TaiFerret Nope! Inuit doesn't have pronouns, prepositions, articles, conjunctions or even auxilliary verbs. They're all realized as suffixes on nouns and verbs, which results in long winding words.,(reply>), +Kabitu1 Didn't they just forget the spaces?
