AFAIK the longest word in Indonesian is mempertanggungjawabkanmulah (taking responsibility for it). But then, I don’t think it’s the longest in terms of possible suffix/morpheme.

  1. meN-
  2. per-
  3. tanggung
  4. jawab
  5. -kan
  6. -mu
  7. -lah

It’s kinda… short, compare to perhaps memperketerbersamaankannyalah (thus to create togetherness between them) which is not a real(?) word

  1. meN-
  2. per-
  3. ke-
  4. ter-
  5. ber-
  6. sama
  7. -an
  8. -nya
  9. -lah

What a real word that you can create in this way with the most building blocks (affixes)? Is there a limit?,
