The longest portuguese word is "Pneumoultramicroscopicossilicovulcanoconiótico" ( 46 letters ) and it means, translated by google, "state of who is committed of a rare illness provoked by the volcanic leached ashes aspiration".

Wow, what a long word. Well I don't know what it is in my language, it's English naturally. Maybe you know better than me, as you speak both languages.
