Interesting and/or very long Dutch words

I reckon a lot of Dutch words are unnecessarily long, and some are just interesting. Here are some I have come across.

Long
verantwoordelijkheid : responsibility
indrukwekkend : impressive
moeilijkheid : difficulties
onontkoombaar : inevitable
wasmachinereparateur : the guy who fixes your washing machine
maatschappelijk : social

Interesting
plotseling : suddenly
vernederlandsen : to become Dutch (they have an actual verb for this)
