Magassága

Magassága is a term primarily used in Hungarian to describe height or altitude. It is a noun derived from the Hungarian word "magas," meaning "high" or "tall." The suffix "-sága" indicates possession or a characteristic, thus "magassága" translates to "its height" or "its altitude."

In geographical contexts, "magassága" refers to the elevation of a landform above sea level. For example, the magassága of a mountain would denote its height. Similarly, it can be used to describe the altitude of a specific point on a map or a geographical feature.

Beyond geography, "magassága" can also be used to describe the physical height of an object or a person. When referring to the height of a building, a tree, or even an individual, "magassága" serves as the appropriate term. The context in which it is used will generally clarify whether it pertains to geographical altitude or physical stature.

The term is integral to describing vertical dimensions in the Hungarian language and is commonly encountered in various fields, including cartography, meteorology, architecture, and general descriptive language. It is a direct and unambiguous way to convey the concept of height.
