This one word takes 3.5 hours to read, the good ones have gotten bad minds

 There is a word in English language which is about 1 lakh 90 thousand letters in length. This word alone takes about 3.5 hours to pronounce. This word is not used in common parlance.

It is the longest word in the English language.


There are many words that we stumble upon. So if you were asked to pronounce an English word that has more than a million letters, how would you react? This is not the longest word in English that you use in common parlance. It is a chemical name with a total of 1,89,819 letters. It will take you about three and a half hours to pronounce this one word. Even after watching the movie in such a short time, you will still have some time left.

This word is so long that we cannot write it here. By the way, to fulfill your curiosity, we are sharing some opening letters and last letters of this word.

METHIONYLTHREONYLTHREONYGLUTAMINYLARGINYL ISOLEUCINE

What does this word mean?

This is the name of the titin protein found in humans. In fact, proteins are named after the chemicals from which they are made. Since titin is the longest protein in the world, that is why its name is also the longest word in the world. There is a problem with the inclusion of chemical names, there is no limit to how long they can be.
