The words that マミラピンアタパイ (written as mamihlapinatapei at Mamihlapinatapai time) (pronunciation by IPA) is of the Yahgan () of Tierra del Fuego Islands origin. It was "the most concise word" and was registered as the words that had difficulty in translation in Guinness Book of World Records most [1]. I can express what "I understand each other without anything saying among two people who expect the same thing, and think (none of them two want to make words)" [2] when I speak this word.
When I explain volunteer dilemma, I may be used [3].
In addition, these words appear in "Defining the World" [4]. I discussed it about having faced the difficulty of while being concise and Samuel Johnson defining the words in precision.
As for these words, it is from suffix -apai expressing suffix -ata, a dual number expressing suffix -n, arrival to express root of a word ihlapi, the state that are ma- (before the vowel sound mam-) which is a prefix of the recurrence / passiveness, a meaning "to do what next, or to be at a loss". There is the meaning of the compatibility in mam- of the recurrence, too.
