Fennmaradás

Fennmaradás is a Hungarian term that translates to "survival" or "persistence" in English. It broadly refers to the act or state of continuing to exist, especially in the face of adversity, challenges, or a changing environment. The concept can be applied in various contexts, from biological and ecological survival to cultural and societal endurance.

In a biological sense, fennmaradás relates to the ability of species to survive environmental pressures such as climate change, habitat loss, or competition. This involves adaptation, reproduction, and maintaining a viable population. Ecologically, it describes the resilience of ecosystems to disturbances and their capacity to recover and continue functioning.

Societally and culturally, fennmaradás signifies the persistence of traditions, languages, identities, and ways of life over time, often despite assimilationist pressures or historical upheaval. It can also refer to the economic survival of businesses or individuals facing difficult market conditions or personal hardship. The core idea is the ability to overcome obstacles and maintain existence or a particular state.
