Some Hungarian prefixes can be piled on without limit, while still creating meaning.

The word "úszni" means "to swim".

Úsztatni - to make someone or someone swim
Úsztattatni - to make someone make someone swim
Úsztattattattattattattattattattni - to make someone make someone make someone ... make someone swim

Can be done with any verb, and maybe some other suffixes as well.

Strangely enough, this works in Finnish too:

Uida - to swim

Uittaa - to make someone or something swim

Uitattaa - to make someone make someone swim

Uitattattattattattattattattattaa - to make someone make someone make someone … make someone swim

It's almost as if they are related languages or something.

Wow, that's wild. Amazing language

It's basically a mishmash of Ancient Ugric, Turkish, German, Slavic and Romani words with grammar that is an eldritch monstrosity, nobody really knows where it came from, and it is seriously weird.

There are only two real tenses, but nineteen cases and two different ways of doing imperative, which are kind of equivalent but carry cultural and tonal differences in certain contexts.
