Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä

Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsijänkä [æteritsiputeritsipuo̯lilɑu̯tatsijænkæ] is a bog region in Savukoski, Lapland in Finland.

[1] It has also been the longest official place name in the European Union since 31 January 2020, when Brexit was completed, as the record was previously held by Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch, a village in Wales, United Kingdom.67°31′51″N 28°36′04″E / 67.53083°N 28.60111°E / 67.53083; 28.60111 According to Finnish linguist Taarna Valtonen,[2] the name can be decomposed as: Äteri=tsi|puteri=tsi|puoli|lauta=tsi|jänkä from various Sámi parts (< *adderidži pjedaridži puoꞷᵉli + -lauta=tsi- + jänkä): thus possibly the name would translate as: "The bog on which the storage hut standing on a single pillar and belonging to 'Paul', the son of 'Peter', the son of 'Andrew', stands/stood on".

A pub in Salla was named Äteritsiputeritsipuolilautatsi-baari after this bog region.

The pub also had the longest name of a registered commercial establishment in Finland.
