Productizable

[robinturner]

I have just seen the word "productizable". No, this is not a continuation of Dr. Solri's Language Clinic; I really, truly saw it. Here it is: "I guess people developing a distribution needs [sic] to know UI engineering or at least difference between “developed code” and “productizable code”.

Don't get me wrong. I love suffixes. I'm a big fan of Turkish, which is so rich in suffixes that you can make up words like Çekoslovakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdanmıydınız ("Are you one of those whom we were unable to turn into Czechoslovakians?"). But "productizable" is on a level with "burglarization".

That hurts me.

um, can you do an IGT on that amazing Turkish word?

I can see:

Çekoslovak+
Czechoslovak

and then I get lost.
you may be pulling my leg here, in which case, ha ha, you got me: I'd believe anything ridiculous about Turkish agglutination morphology.

We can get pretty far in English (though I can't come up with the question morphology in neo-Latin), if we allow the zero adj-to-noun morphology ("a Red", "the rich", "the dispossessed", etc):

"Are you an un-Czechoslovakianizable?"

I've seen a similar Turkish word quoted, but with Europeans rather than Czechoslovakians. It is indeed a great language. :-)

Yesterday I was on a course and heard the facilitator say both "devoluted" and, far more bizarrely, "devolushe" (meaning "devolved" and "devolve" respectively). I must admit that for a few minutes I was completely unable to concentrate on the subject matter while I digested these curious linguistic nuggets...

Çekoslovakya -   laş    -   tır     - ama       - dık
Czechoslovakia - become - causative - inability - 1st per. pl. particle

- lar - ımız                    - dan       - mı  - (y)d - iniz
- pl. - 1st per. pl. possessive - ablative  - ?   - past - 2d per. pl. (polite form)

When written, there is a space before miydiniz, but that is just a typographical convention; grammatically, it's still one word, with no pause when spoken.

As far as I know, this word has never been used other than in the context of "the longest word in Turkish", though I suppose it could have come from a Turkish translation of a Czech novel!

"Devolushe" sounds like Polari.

not as bad as productizable

I ordered something online and went to the UPS' website to track my package. Apparently it is currently at a sortation center in Dallas. I looked up "sortation" and saw that it referred to a mechanical or automated sorting method. But I still don't like it.

To my ears it sounds almost as bad as "productizable", but it goes back at least as far as 1844. "Productizable", however, hasn't made it into the OED, thank God.

başarısızlaştırıcılaştıramadıklarımızdanmışsınızdır

I think this is the longest turkish word meaning something like:
You are (most probably)one of those whom we could not convert someone who can make others unsuccessful.

Re: başarısızlaştırıcılaştıramadıklarımızdanmışsınızdır

Yes, that's even longer than the one I was taught: Çekoslovakyalılaştıramadıklarımızdanmıydınız. I thinki the -dır on the end is dodgy, though.
