Flották

Flották is the Hungarian plural of the noun flotta, meaning fleets—groups of ships operated together under a single command. The term covers military navies, merchant fleets, river fleets, and other organized formations of watercraft. It can also describe a fleet of vehicles owned by a company or organization in non-maritime contexts.

In Hungarian, the word flotta is borrowed from Italian flotta, and cognate terms appear in several languages such as French flotte and German Flotte. The plural form flották is used when referring to more than one fleet, regardless of whether the fleets are military, commercial, or civil in nature.

Usage of flották spans historical and contemporary contexts. It appears in historical accounts of naval forces, in journalism describing the size and composition of a country’s fleet, and in business language to denote a company’s fleet of ships, trucks, or other transports. While the primary sense is nautical, the word can be extended to describe organized groups of machinery or assets deployed for collective operations, depending on context and emphasis.

Related terms include the singular flotta and the equivalents in other languages, such as English fleet, French flotte, German Flotte, and Italian flotta. The specific meaning in a sentence is determined by the surrounding context, clarifying whether the reference is military, commercial, or logistical.
