ok,here is a very long word,and let me repeat,it is a WORD,lol

Öğretmenim gave it to us as a funny thing,about how Suffix would make the word really long,and still got a meaning

And he was right too,,lol

So can you tell,what suffix are in there ?

Çekoslovakyalılaştıramadıldarımızdan mısınız?

wheewww,was too long even writting it ,,lol

So anyone can understand what does it means,and what suffix does it contain ?

İ think it would be hard for me,even if i was Türkler,,lol

One of my Turkish grammar books has a longer word........
I know what it means - but would like to know how the suffixes are constructed!

avrupalılaştırıverilemeyebilenlerdenmişsiniz

What I find very interesting about the above word is that it disobeys vowel harmony. I thought there were only two suffixes that disobeyed vowel harmony (-iyor and -abil). But it looks like there is a suffix (-ıver) that also disobeys vowel harmony.

It isn't in turkish suffix dictionary either. But WinMekMak only lists verbal suffixes.

I don't know if it even exists - but if it doesn't I do not see how the above word can change half way through from hard to soft vowels. Anyone care to offer an explanation?
