A long word from a language I made myself.
"Nasmolalolĩpapolci"
/,na.smo,la.lo,lĩ.pa'poɫ.ci/
"Drizzle(ing) that is wished to not have happened, even though it has already occurred."
Na-smolalolĩ-pa-pol-ci
NEGATIVE-to drizzle-PAST-OPTATIVE-NOMINALIZER
"smolalolĩ" actually means "little sky water"
Here's a more in-depth gloss.
First, we start with "smolalolĩ". This is the root, and it is a verb.
"to drizzle"
Next, we apply "na-", which negates the root into:
"to not drizzle"
Then, we apply "-pa", which puts the tense in the past:
"drizzled"
and "-pol" which means the speaker wants that action to occur. (usually an irrealis mood) So in conjunction, "-papol" means something that the speaker wished hadn't happened.
"drizzle that is wished to not have happened even though it had"
Finally, we apply "-ci", which turns our verb into a noun. (not exactly a gerund because the same suffix is used to turn adjectives into nouns)
"drizzle(ing) that is wished to not have happened, even though it has already occurred"
