The Longest Word in...
Dutch - kindercarnavalsoptochtvoorbereidingswerkzaamheden (49) - meaning 'preparation activities for a children's carnival procession'
Danish - speciallægepraksisplanlægningsstabiliseringsperiode (51) - meaning 'the stabilization period of the planning of medical specialists' practices'
Finnish - lentokonesuihkuturbiinimoottoriapumekaanikkoaliupseerioppilas (61) - meaning 'apprentice corporal, working as assistant mechanic in charge of airplane turbine engines'

Way to go you crazy Scandinavian languages, for creating the most contrived and useless words ever. If it was only to get into the record books, you win. Based on their definitions, I don't know if these "words" should even deserve to be called "words". >_>
