Medencének

Medencének is a Hungarian term that translates to "swimming pool" or "basin" in English. It generally refers to a man-made structure designed to hold water for various purposes. The most common association is with recreational swimming pools, found in homes, public parks, hotels, and sports facilities. These are typically filled with water, often chlorinated or otherwise treated for hygiene, and used for leisure, exercise, and competitive swimming.

Beyond recreational use, the term "medencének" can also describe other types of basins. This includes industrial basins used for holding liquids in manufacturing processes, or agricultural basins for irrigation and water storage. In some contexts, it might also refer to a natural depression in the ground that holds water, though the primary connotation is a constructed feature. The size and design of a medencének can vary greatly depending on its intended function, from small decorative garden ponds to large Olympic-sized swimming pools. The materials used in construction also differ, commonly including concrete, tile, fiberglass, or vinyl liners.
