Tonight I was looking at some crazy English words. They’re hard enough to say in English… so I decided to have a go at translating them to Japanese using Katakana… it was fun… but I think I’m a balder man than I was before I started LOL…

Here goes…

The longest word in the English dictionary (45 letters):
PNEUMONOULTRAMICROSCOPICSILICOVOLCANOCONIOSIS
(Some sort of lung disorder)

My Katakana translation:

プニュマナウルトラミックロスコピックシライカヴォルケノコニオチス

The longest chemical term in English (29 letters):
TRINITROPHENYLMETHYLNITRAMINE
(An explosive)

My Katakana translation:

トリニトロフェニルメシルニトラミン

The longest word used by William Shakespeare (27 letters):
HONORIFICABILITUDINITATIBUS
(honorablenes)

My Katakana translation:

ハノオイファイキャビライツヂナイタタイバス

The longest place name in the UK (Wales) (lots of letters):
LLANFAIRPWLLGWYNGYLLGOGERYCHWYRNDROBWLLLLANTYSILIO
GOGOGOCH
(I’m serious!)

My Katakana translation:
ランフェルプルグイニルゴジャイcフイルンドロブランチシリオゴゴゴチュ (HAHA )

I GIVE UP!

LOL, I probably made a lot of mistakes, but that was fun!
