[edit] Finnish
Finnish has two 25-letter palindromes:
- saippuakuppinippukauppias – "soap cup batch trader"
- solutomaattimittaamotulos – "the measurement laboratory result for tomato cells"
Other palindromes:
- saippuakalasalakauppias (23 letters) – "soapfish smuggler". While the word is grammatically correct, soapfish (lutefisk gone bad) isn’t exactly a contraband.
- saippuakivikauppias (19) – "saippuakivi vendor" (saippuakivi is a type of stone; some argue that this is the longest palindrome that is both grammatically correct and sensible, and that could possibly be used in everyday speech)
- saippuakauppias (15) – "soap vendor" (perhaps the best known Finnish palindrome; the longest single word palindrome in the world that is in everyday use)
