Mamihlapinatapai (sometimes spelled mamihlapinatapei) is a word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the "most succinct word", and is considered one of the hardest words to translate.[1] It describes a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start. This could perhaps be translated more succinctly as "eye-contact implying 'after you...'". A more literal approximation is "ending up mutually at a loss as to what to do about each other".

The word consists of prefix ma(m)- reflexive/passive (second m before roots beginning with a vowel), root ihlapi (hl pronounced as /ɬ/, though in Yahgan it has also been described as similar to sl) which means to be at a loss as to what to do next, followed by stative suffix -n- and achievement suffix -at(a), and finally dual -apai, which in composition with ma(m)- has a reciprocal sense.

It is also the title of a song by the American singer-songwriter Ronny Cox.[2]

London: It’s a question that has dogged some of the finest minds for generations -- why do some people live longer than others? Well, a new study seems to have found a possible answer-- exercise and the right diet.





Researchers at the Manchester Metropolitan University have found that the secret to a longer and healthier life lies in a glass of sugary drink, light exercise, say gardening, and a protein-rich diet everyday.



According to them, a combination of a sugary drink, some gentle exercise and a protein-rich meal helps people lose weight, build muscle and improve balance and flexibility. “We give advice that if you are going to be gardening, have a glass of orange juice beforehand.”



“Straight afterwards, have a steak or some milk because this is the time when the body is ready and raring to take up protein”, the ‘Daily Mail’ quoted lead researcher Dr Gladys Pearson as saying.



The researchers found the recipe for longer and healthier life after a three-month-long experiment involving around 80 pensioners.



The men and women aged between 65 and 92 did weights at the gym, tai chi, stood on one leg with their eyes closed to improve balance and went for short walks.



Some were told to exercise more strenuously than others and some took Lucozade (a sweet beverage) before exercising and a protein supplement drink after finishing.



After three months, all were healthier. However, the biggest difference was seen among those who had done the least strenuous exercise and had taken Lucozade and the protein drink.



These men and women had lost more weight and built more muscle and were more flexible than any of the others, including those who had done more strenuous exercise while supplementing their diet.
